Call for Nominations: AALS Section on Taxation 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award

Call for Nominations, AALS Section on Taxation 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award:

The AALS Section on Taxation Executive Committee is pleased to open nominations for its 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award.  This award, first given in 2024 to Professors Patricia Cain and Cliff Fleming, honors an individual who has had a distinguished career of teaching, service, and scholarship.  Nominees should be those who have impacted the field of taxation, the legal community, and the academy through mentoring, writing, speaking, activism, and by providing opportunities to others. 

Only AALS Section on Taxation members may make a nomination, and only individuals – not institutions, organizations, or law schools – are eligible for the award. The nomination should identify the nominee’s qualifications for the award, with special attention paid to why a lifetime achievement award is appropriate at this point in the nominee’s career.

Individuals are welcome to nominate more than one individual, and self-nominations are also welcome. Each nomination should be limited to no more than 300 words.  If it is available to the nominator, the Executive Committee would also like to receive the nominee’s CV.  Nominations should be sent to the AALS Section on Taxation Chair Jennifer Bird-Pollan by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on Wednesday, October 2.  Please include in the subject line of the email “Nomination for AALS Section on Taxation Award”.  Receipt of nominations will be confirmed via email.  The AALS Section on Taxation Executive Committee will select the award recipient, and the award will be presented at the 2025 AALS Annual Meeting in San Francisco, CA.
