In this edition of my spin on the U.S. News and World Report Tax Law Specialty Rankings, I have adjusted the rankings based on cost of attendance. For many potential LL.M candidates, cost of a particular program factors heavily into the decision where to go. This chart contains the cost of attendance for each of the programs based on figures presented in Pursuing a Tax LLM Degree — Where? as well as the law schools’ websites. Some of the schools charge registration fees in addition to tuition and therefore, I have added the numbers together in those instances. Also, the figure for the University of Florida is the cost for out of state residents. The cost for Florida residents is $10,693. Finally, these figures for the most part, represent last years cost of attendance.
In addition to reading Pursuing a Tax LLM Degree — Where?, I suggest reading Pursuing a Tax LLM Degree: Why and When? Both articles provide extremely comprehensive coverage of Tax LLM Programs and are written by tax law professors Jennifer M. Kowal (Loyola-L.A.), Katherine Pratt (Loyola-L.A.), Theodore P. Seto (Loyola-L.A.), and Paul L. Caron (Cincinnati).
