Bradley T. Borden
Associate Professor of Law
"Tax law permeates almost every aspect of our lives and the practice of law. Washburn provides students an opportunity to work with the tax law in a manner that they can establish a base of knowledge that will be useful to them for the rest of their lives. Those who desire to practice tax law can develop a solid foundation on which to build in a graduate tax program or practice. Those who will not practice in the area can become familiar with issues and develop skills that will make them better lawyers as they practice in other areas of the law. The ubiquitous nature, universal applicability, and cerebral character of tax law make it one of the most exciting and challenging areas of the law."
