Marjorie E. Kornhauser

Marjorie Kornhauser is a renowned tax scholar who has published extensively and is a sought-after speaker on tax topics throughout the U.S. and abroad. She began her teaching career in 1984 at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law and joined the Tulane Law School faculty in 1992, remaining until 2006, when she began teaching at Arizona State University's Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. She rejoined the faculty from 2013-until 2016. She also has taught as a visiting professor at the University of Michigan Law School and Boston College Law School.

Her research focuses on the intersection of federal income taxation and society.

Kornhauser created and currently runs TaxJazz: The Tax Literacy Project. TaxJazz provides ordinary individuals, teachers and communities easily accessible, non-partisan, information about tax and tax policy so they may participate in an informed way in a rational debate about the future of American tax policy. Among its activities is a one week curriculum which Tulane Law students—under her supervision—teach in New Orleans high schools.
