Professor Sarkar Writes for L.A. Times About Tax Law Equity
In an op-ed published in the Los Angeles Times on May 31, Professor Shayak Sarkar and Josh Rosenthal argue that the Supreme Court decision in Tyler vs. Hennepin County serves as a warning about legal defects in other property tax laws that unfairly harm communities of color, including California’s own Proposition 13.
Shayak Sarkar's scholarship addresses the structure and legal regulation of inequality. His substantive interests lie in financial regulation, employment law, immigration, and taxation.
