Intro to US Tax Law, 2 credits, will run on Tuesday nights 19:30-21:30.  The course will be taught by Art Franczek.  Art is the president of the American Institute of Business & Economics, a top ranked Western style MBA program in Russia.  Although Art is not a lawyer, he holds an MBA, a CPA and a Masters fo Science in Taxation from DePaul University in Chicago, has several published articles on taxation issues, and has taught  tax accounting, tax policy, comparative taxation and similar courses to business students for the past 20 years. He is a member of the American Chamber of Commerce Tax Committee, and Co-Chair of the Customs Committee, and in between teaching for AIBEc he is a frequently conference speaker on comparative taxation and tax accounting issues at various institutions and businesses around the world.  This will be his first foray into teaching law students, but I think he the most qualified person in Russia to teach such a course.
