I got a request from some online service, of which I had never heard, to provide “expert analysis.” The gist of my reply follows. I hope it explains this site.

I mostly cover US Tax Court. I don’t write “expert analysis.” I write tips and hacks for the in-the-trenches controversialists, and the preparers and advisers, who haven’t time to read law review articles. If I go over five hundred words in any blogpost, quoted matter included, I’ve failed. I take my text from Habakkuk 2:2: “Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.”

If you want fast and simple, I’m your man. If you’re looking for law review, in the immortal words of Nobel Laureate Robert Alan Zimmerman, “it ain’t me, babe.”
