Dean Paul Caron's TaxProf Blog Acquired by the Association of American Law Schools
Dean Paul Caron's TaxProf Blog has been acquired by the Association of American Law Schools (AALS). Dean Caron recently ended the blog after 21 years of posts on tax and legal information. The AALS will maintain the blog’s archives and host new content and personal reflections from Dean Caron and a team of editors.
From the Association of American Law Schools:
The Association of American Law Schools (AALS) is pleased to announce that TaxProf Blog, a leading source for news, scholarship, and commentary on legal education and tax law for over twenty years, will now be hosted exclusively by AALS, furthering the association’s mission to advance excellence in legal education. The blog is now available at https://taxprofblog.aals.org.
Founded in 2004 by Paul L. Caron, Duane and Kelly Roberts Dean and Professor of Law at Pepperdine University Rick J. Caruso School of Law, TaxProf Blog has been an essential resource for the legal and academic communities. It is widely read by law professors and lawyers and was named to ABA Journal’s “Blawg 100” in 2013, as well as its “Hall of Fame.” Over 800,000 deans, professors, students, lawyers, and others visit TaxProf Blog each year. The blog shut down on September 30, 2025, due to the closure of the Typepad platform, which hosted it.
The AALS acquisition ensures the preservation of TaxProf Blog’s archives and its continued role in providing timely and relevant information to the legal education and tax law communities.
“Led by Paul Caron, TaxProf Blog has been a cornerstone for law school deans, law professors, and tax lawyers for decades and we are honored to bring it back and build on its legacy,” said Kellye Y. Testy, AALS Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer. “This addition reflects our commitment to creating resources for legal educators and helping build communities of scholars. We plan to develop similar resources in other substantive areas in the future and we are grateful to Dean Caron for his partnership in launching this effort.
AALS will maintain the blog’s archives and host new content and personal reflections from Caron and a team of editors. Readers can expect the same news and posts on scholarship, events, data, commentary, and analysis that they have come to expect from the site.
“I could not be more excited about partnering with AALS to keep TaxProf Blog going,” said Caron. “This collaboration will guarantee the blog’s continued growth and accessibility, serving as a vital source of information for legal educators, scholars, and practitioners. I’m pleased to ensure the site’s continuity for years to come with the support of AALS and a community of legal education editors and tax editors.”
