About The School
Janice Chang Case, J.D., LL.M. Riverside, CA
“It is such a privilege 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.”

Honestly, when I began the program and first heard of the Washington School of Law I was a bit skeptical of distance learning programs. But after beginning the program, my skepticism soon dissipated. The instructors are extremely qualified, professional and convey the material most effectively. This program has really changed my views about education in general ($$, travel time, relocation, room and board, etc.). Educationally, I come from a very traditional type of background. This type of program focuses on what is important; learning. I have spent many years in college and grad school. I now think, maybe, there is a better way.

Regarding Course 601 – Taxation of Individuals: You have no idea how happy and satisfied I am with this course. I have been in practice for almost 30 years; however, I have learned so much.
Professor Edmunds is exceptional. I am extremely impressed with his professional credentials and his ability to motivate students. I will never forget his analogy of comparing tax avoidance and tax evasion to the border between Russia and Finland.
…I look forward to start[ing] the [next] course as soon as possible.
Thank you for all your assistance and … encouragement.

My experience with Washington Institute for Graduate Studies has been very valuable to my career as a Tax Practitioner. As a summa cum laude graduate of the MST program, I have been elevated to a high level of authority and respect from my peers and clients. The support staff did a good job of keeping me on track all the way to graduation.
I cannot thank you enough.

Washington School of Law [Washington Institute for Graduate Studies] has given me the opportunity to further my studies in taxation I could not accommodate while holding down a regular job. I am proud to say I was able to graduate with honors in this voluminous course of study. Thanks to WSL and its wonderful staff.

I found the MS tax program to be very valuable in my career growth. I especially enjoyed the flexibility in the program. With full time work and 3 small children, this was the only program availabe out there to achieve my educational goals.
