The Doctrine Of Judicial Estoppel, Steve R. Johnson Dec 2003

The Doctrine Of Judicial Estoppel, Steve R. Johnson

Scholarly Publications

The doctrine of judicial estoppel is not on some lawyers’ radar screens. That’s regrettable. Not anticipating application of the rule, a person may make a claim that can hurt him or her in the long run. Or, unaware of the rule, a party may fail to assert a potentially successful defense. Or, having only a very general awareness of the rule, an attorney may miss subtleties or forum variations that are the difference between winning and losing.

This article has three parts. Part I describes the doctrine of judicial estoppel, emphasizing its purposes. Part II explores the recent judicial estoppel …


The 1998 Act And The Resources Link Between Tax Compliance And Tax Simplification, Steve R. Johnson Dec 2003

The 1998 Act And The Resources Link Between Tax Compliance And Tax Simplification, Steve R. Johnson

Scholarly Publications

Tax compliance sometimes is thought of as purely a matter of administration. But there are important connections between substance and procedure.' Both affect compliance. This article explores how simplification of the substantive tax law can improve compliance. The particular emphasis is on how simplification can liberate human and material resources for the IRS without which otherwise well conceived efforts to improve compliance are likely ultimately to fail.

Criminal Law Sanctuaries, Wayne A. Logan Jul 2003

Criminal Law Sanctuaries, Wayne A. Logan

Scholarly Publications

The paper explores the existence of various social institutions that have resisted the reach of criminal law enforcement authority over time. Focusing on the response of the Catholic Church to widespread clergy sexual abuse, which in many respects reflects the practice of sanctuary in the European middle ages, as well as the historic resistance of families and corporations to criminal law authority, the paper discusses the reasons underlying the phenomenon of sanctuaries, and offers insights into how criminal wrongdoing might best be addressed therein.



Secondary Liability For Federal Trust Fund Taxes, Steve R. Johnson Jul 2003

Secondary Liability For Federal Trust Fund Taxes, Steve R. Johnson

Scholarly Publications

When collection of unpaid taxes cannot be effected from the person primarily liable for them, the Internal Revenue Code creates for the IRS a number of mechanisms for collection from secondary parties. To satisfy the requirements of fairness and due process, secondary liability is imposed only when the party has some nexus to the liability, that is, when that person's actions helped create the liability or frustrated its collection from the primary taxpayer.

This article discusses l.R.C. § 6672, one of the most widely used and important of the secondary liability mechanisms in tax. There are numerous § 6672 assessments …
