Who is Edward Zelinsky?
Edward Zelinsky is an expert on United States tax law, professor at Cardozo Law School in New York City, and frequent visiting professor at the Yale Law School. He has also taught at Cornell, NYU and Columbia.
A nationally recognized expert on tax law, Zelinsky has testified before the United States Congress and the House Judiciary Committee. He has served on the New Haven Board of Aldermen, and when elected was the first person to be elected to the Board while a student at Yale University.
In 2003, he challenged the State of New York on its so-called "convenience of the employer" doctrine which enabled New York to engage in what Zelinsky and others have alleged is unconstitutional double taxation of telecommuters. The case, Zelinsky v. Tax Appeals Tribunal, was denied certiorari by the U.S. Supreme Court after the New York Court of Appeals decided against Zelinsky. Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd subsequently attempted to introduce federal legislation that would prevent New York and other states from engaging in such taxation.
Zelinsky and Justice Samuel Alito attended Yale Law School together.
