You are invited to submit for consideration applied tax policy and legal tax research manuscripts for presentation at the 2010 ATA Midyear meeting.  Submitted manuscripts will also be considered for publication in The ATA Journal of Legal Tax Research.  All manuscripts will be blind reviewed and must follow the style guidelines of The ATA Journal of Legal Tax Research.

We encourage submission of research that:

• Provides critical discussions for strategically structuring transactions, considering tax and non-tax ramifications
• Critically analyzes similarities and differences between tax accounting and financial accounting issues

  Authors may submit different papers to different Midyear sessions (e.g., JATA Conference, Legal Session, etc.). Multiple submissions must be disclosed with the submission. Papers that have been previously published or have been accepted for publication are not eligible.

The deadline for submissions of legal research manuscripts is November 1, 2009.
