Before joining the faculty at Brooklyn Law School, Professor Kysar practiced as a
tax associate at Cravath, Swaine & Moore, where she was responsible for all tax
aspects of complex domestic and international transactions, including mergers and
acquisitions, securities offerings, bank financings, joint ventures, and restructurings.
She has guest lectured on corporate tax at New York University School of Law. She also
has developed and taught several in-house tax CLE courses on international taxation,
taxable corporate acquisitions, and tax-exempt organizations. Her recent scholarly
writing examines the tax legislative process and focuses on certain political pressures
that curtail the efficacy of that process. Professor Kysar’s publications have appeared
in Tax Notes and the Georgia Law Review. An additional article is forthcoming in the
Cornell Law Review. At Yale Law School, she was a Senior Editor of the Yale Law Journal
and a Coker Teaching Fellow. Following law school, she served as a law clerk to the
Honorable Richard Cardamone of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
