Civil Tax Procedure embodies the dual goals established for the LexisNexis Graduate Tax Series: to provide graduate tax students with a solid foundation in the applicable rules and to enhance their skills in reading and applying complex statutes and regulations. To this end, the text relies very little on the often-times laborious analysis of cases and other sources that are secondary to the Code and the regulations. Instead, each chapter provides an overview of the substantive content, with emphasis on important issues that are not apparent from the language of the Code and regulations.

The problems are designed to require the students to study the assigned sections of the Code and regulations and, for the most part, do not lend themselves to resolution by simply reading the book. Areas that are often difficult for students (and practitioners alike), such as the partnership audit provisions, the innocent spouse rules, judicial and statutory mitigation of the statute of limitations, and transferee and fiduciary liability are addressed in the text and through 'real world' problems.

The Teacher's Manual includes not only comprehensive analyses of all problems presented in the coursebook, but also lecture notes on some of the most difficult topics developed by the authors whose combined practice and teaching careers span almost 100 years.
