Testimonials

Graduate, Janice Chang Case, J.D., LL.M  Riverside, CA 
“It is such a privelege to be part of the Washington School of Law/Washington Institute for Graduate Studies' Alumni. ... Among my legal and taxation peers, Washington Institute has an excellent reputation.  It is not an easy task to absorb taxation material, especially since I am not a tax practitioner.  The educational foundation that I have gained from the Institute has helped me in achieving my personal goals to be a better Trust Officer for my organization, and to give general educational seminars relating to charitable gift planning and tax ramifications."
