"Training the next generation of juridical and forensic tax practitioners..."
"Hi, I'm Daniel Ng, Associate Dean and Associate Professor of Law. The College of Tax Law is an innovative educational experience in the study of forensic taxation. Our JD/LLM virtual law program is the only one of its kind in the United States. It combines online training for forensic tax practice before the IRS and Federal courts. We work with each student individually. I invite you to learn about this great opportunity to obtain a non-bar JD Forensic Taxation and LLM International Tax or Wealth Management from an ABA law school."
Daniel Ng, Associate Dean, J.D., LL.M.
The College of Tax Law offers a fast-track JD/LLM program through The College of Tax Lawand Thomas Jefferson School of Law, both
situated in San Diego,
CA:
Under California State Bar rules, online legal education requires four (4) years
of continuous law study to earn the JD and eligibility to sit for the California State bar exams. Our program
awards both the JD and LLM after four years of continuous law study, making it a
two-for-one opportunity. Moreover, award of the JD/LLM from us and our partnered
ABA recognized
graduate law program will allow one to petition the Washington DC bar to take the DC bar
exam as DC requires 26 units in an ABA approved LLM program beyond the
JD.
Please note that our JD program is a non-bar qualifying law degree by itself and does not qualify
for the California bar. An evaluation by the California bar is needed. The
LL.M. is necessary to meet the 4-year requirement but it is still up to an
individual state bar to determine whether an applicant is eligible. Applicants:
Please check with your desired state bar whether this program can satisfy the
requirements in your own situation.
The College of Tax Law admits individuals on a case-by-case basis. Please know that an applicant must have earned a bachelor's degree or no fewer than 60 college credits (associate degree equivalent) from an accredited institution - U.S. or foreign - in order to be considered for admission to this program.
