Western New England University School of Law Team Wins Best Brief at National ABA Tax Challenge

Mitch Renfrew of Barkhamsted, CT and Ryan Hartnett of Whitesboro, NY, won "Best Written Submission" at the 19th Annual American Bar Association Law Student Tax Challenge. The competition was held during the Section of Taxation 2020 Midyear Tax Meeting on January 30-February 1, in Boca Raton, FL.

The Western New England team was one of six finalists selected from more than 80 law schools nationwide to participate in the final J.D. Division rounds, where they presented oral arguments before a panel of distinguished tax lawyers and tax court judges. Each two-person team was challenged to solve a complex business problem that might arise in everyday tax practice. Teams are initially evaluated on two criteria: a memorandum to a senior partner and a letter to a client explaining the result.
