Mission: The Tax and Estate Planning Law Association (TEPLA) is a UCLA Law student-run organization for anyone curious about the practice of tax and estate planning law. We connect students with practitioners and resources through events with speakers, panels, and workshops. TEPLA aims to demystify a field that's often overlooked in the standard law school curriculum but touches nearly every area of practice, from private wealth management to corporate transactions to public policy.
