I am considering a tax LLM. I have a finance background, two babies at home and bill about 1,800 hours annually. For those of you pursuing or who have completed a tax LLM, how difficult/time consuming was the program?

Extremely time consuming. I did mine full time but had colleagues doing it part time and taking as few as one course per semester. They chose to do it that way because they had kids.

Thanks! I would definitely go the part time route.

The amount of people, even attorneys, who can't separate out the policy merits of abortion from the issue of whether it is a constitutional right is disappointing. I consider myself pro-choice ---I believe states should allow it, that the federal government can pass a statute to guarantee it, and that FDA statutes and regulations will preempt any state trying to ban chemical abortions through FDA approved drugs. Dobbs at its core is a case about the Due Process Clause, not the policy of abortion
