Representation of Parties
The United States government is represented in the Tax Court by the Chief Counsel of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or his delegate. The Tax Court permits persons who are not Attorneys at Law to be admitted to practice (to represent taxpayers) by applying for admission and passing an examination administered by the Court. Attorneys who provide evidence of membership and good standing in state bar or the D.C. bar can be admitted to the bar of the Court without sitting for the Tax Court examination. Tax Court practice is highly specialized and most practitioners are licensed attorneys who specialize in tax controversies.

Famous quotes containing the words representation of and/or parties:
“All great amusements are dangerous to the Christian life; but among all those which the world has invented there is none more to be feared than the theater. It is a representation of the passions so natural and so delicate that it excites them and gives birth to them in our hearts, and, above all, to that of love.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“Things must be done by parties, not by persons using parties as tools.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
