Chad S asked:
I am a senior in high school and have always been interested in law and numbers. Buy Levitra Online Without Prescription I know I would probably need to major in something like accounting in undergraduate school, but would I need to get a masters degree and become a CPA and then go to law school? I’m really asking – how are certain lawyers classified as tax lawyers?

You take tax law classes in law school and get certified by your state’s board of specialization.
Becoming a CPA certainly wouldn’t hurt, but it’s not necessary. Really, you just need to go to law school and choose tax as your specialty after you graduate.
You might find it helpful, of course, to take classes in tax during law school. There are also several universities offering JD/MBA programs. I’m sure there are others that offer combination JD/masters in accounting.
