Now that upper-level elective courses in elder law have become well established in the curriculum at many law schools,’ this Symposium explores if and how law schools should teach elder law and selected tax topics that affect the elderly across the curriculum. In the past, the same question has been asked about other emerging fields. For example, when law school faculties recognized the educational importance of international law in a rapidly globalizing world, they developed new upper-level specialized public and private international law courses, and some international law faculty advocated the addition of units on related international law topics in some required core law school courses. As elder law becomes increasingly relevant, both because of the rapidly growing population of aging citizens with legal concerns and because of an expanding body of law that cuts across other areas of law, law faculty should similarly reassess and appropriately revise how these subjects are taught to address aspects of this dynamic field. In particular, the coverage of tax aspects affecting the elderly in elder law, estate planning, and the basic federal income tax and tax policy curriculum needs some revision.
