 Rating:  - Extremely helpful aid to learning Federal Income TaxationThis book (called "Chirelstein" at my law school) is absolutely necessary to anyone learning Federal Income Taxation. It will teach you all the basic concepts you are supposed to be learning from all the cases and formulas in your textbook and Code in PLAIN ENGLISH with helpful examples. If you read the applicable sections of this book before reading your assignment, you will always have the answer when called on in class and (I haven't had my final yet) but I suspect it will help you understand ... Read More Rating: - Taking Income Tax? Buy this book!I strongly, strongly recommend this book for any law student taking an income tax course who has no experience in accounting. I read this book in the beginning of the class- it's relatively short and incredibly readable- and it made the actual class a breeze. Like most law school subjects, it's easy to lose the forest for the trees, and starting off with this book will let you understand how things fit together before you start slogging through- and get lost in- the Code. As a corollary ... Read More Rating:  - Much more engaging than you'd expect from a tax guruIf you get a kick out of the legal writers who make no attempt to hide their arrogance (Scalia comes to mind), then you will enjoy reading Professor Marv. You get the feeling that he often wonders to himself what it's like to be stupid. Even if you don't take to his "burdened genius" persona, it won't prevent you from seeing new ways of looking at concepts in addition what your casebook provides. He wrote this as a "universal supplement," and has taken care to avoid a retread of any of the major ... Read More Rating: - As advertisedThis book comes as advertised. It's a clear, succinct, helpful, and occasionally witty introduction to the law of federal income taxation. Chirelstein has a rare talent for making the sometime inscrutable rules of tax law accessible to even the most tax-phobic law student. Particularly useful are his examples (even his charts and numbers are easy and helpful!) and "Loose ends," in which he ties up a particular chapter or subchapter with some point of clarification that makes so much sense you're just sure your ... Read More Rating: - A useful introductionThis book is a useful introduction to some of the principal concepts of the U.S. tax law. I recommend it to law students, young tax lawyers and other professionals that need to develop a good foundation of basic tax law concepts. The framework this title will help you develop will be of great assistance in learning how to think about tax issues and understanding more specialized areas of the law. |
