Working/Functional Title
Director, Taxpayer Clinic, Fixed Term
Position Summary
The College of Law is looking to hire a director of its Alvin L. Storrs Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic. The Director will be a full-time, 12-month, fixed-term, Assistant/Associate/Full Professor and will manage the Clinic’s operations and funding, perform and supervise casework and outreach, and teach the Clinic seminar. Candidates’ experience should demonstrate a strong interest in actively pursuing service and/or scholarly opportunities, to enrich the intellectual life and governance of the law school, relevant professional associations, and beyond.
The Alvin L. Storrs Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic at Michigan State University College of Law was initially funded by the Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) grant program administered by the IRS in 2000. The Clinic is currently entering year two of a three-year grant from the IRS and it represents low-income and English-as-second-language taxpayers who live throughout Michigan. The Clinic is one of eight in-house clinics at the Law School. Like all LITCs, the Clinic handles tax controversies with the IRS and generally does not provide tax return preparation services. The Clinic also handles tax controversies with the Michigan Department of Treasury and various cities’ income tax departments. It also manages a toll-free hotline for homeowners who need assistance in requesting the poverty or disabled veteran’s exemption from property tax. Law students take the lead on most Clinic cases, provide community and educational outreach, and participate in Tax Court and the Michigan Tax Tribunal.
