The Color of Law Review, 103 Boston University Law Review 181 (2023) (with Gregory S. Parks)
This Article argues that law review’s diversity problem must be viewed in the broader context of sociopolitical efforts to eradicate racial injustice in the United States and reform legal education.
Tessa Davis
Revisiting the Tax Treatment of Alimony, 72 Kansas Law Review_ (2023), Rutgers Law School Research Paper (with Amy & Jay Soled)
As part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, Congress upended the tax treatment of alimony, making it neither deductible for the payer nor includable by the recipient. The legislative history regarding the need for this reform is virtually nonexistent. To fill this important gap, this article offers rationales for this legislative initiative. It then argues that this change appropriately places the tax responsibility on the payer and, by doing so, enhances tax compliance while easing administrative tax reporting burdens.
