Bradley T. Borden
Associate Professor of Law
"Tax law's great intrigue is its aggregation of several areas of law and thought. In studying tax law, one may draw extensively from fields such as economics, finance, philosophy, business, political science, and substantive non-tax law. Incorporating ideas from so many disciplines makes tax law a field of rich intellectual study."
