Continuing Legal Education
Throughout the year, Washburn University School of Law offers many Continuing Legal Education programs in a wide variety of areas of law and practice. As part of our legal community outreach, Washburn Law also often serves as a host site for non-profit legal groups to provide CLE and non-credit legal training for the legal community.
The two (2) hour presentation will provide a current update (as of the date of the event) of current cases (and those being litigated) and rulings. Also addressed will be current IRS developments of relevance to the tax filing season including the issuance of any key Treasury Regulations that bear on the preparation of 2024 returns and newly issued or revised IRS Forms. Prof. McEowen will also examine what the future of tax policy could be in 2025, including the likely continuation of significant parts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 as well as the prospects concerning Farm Bill legislation/extension.
The two-hour "Tax Ethics" CLE presented by Roger McEowen will be scenario-based on numerous common tax practice situations. Each scenario will pose ethical issues for the practitioner and discussion will focus on the manner in which the client issues can or should be solved within the governing ethical guidelines and rules.
Washburn Law is proud of the expertise and skill of our faculty and alumni and a signature CLE event is the annual 12 hour program in late June each year. This event brings our faculty together to present a collection of CLE sessions on topics of their expertise. This event always includes on annual update on decisions from the United States Supreme Court as well as the ever popular, and required, two hours of ethics credit.
Beyond the annual program, we also offer CLE training from visiting practitioners and faculty as available. We welcome suggestions of CLE topics and presenters, and we encourage you to contact us at cle@washburn.edu in that regard.
