New Law Professor

Bernard Wolfman, former dean of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, will join the Law School faculty next year as a professor of tax law, Albert M. Sacks, dean of the Law School, said yesterday.

Wolfman will teach three law courses on income tax, estate and gift tax, and tax policy, next year, according to Sacks.

Stanley S. Surrey, professor of tax law, attributed Wolfman's decision to the attractions of the Harvard community.

Wolfman practiced law privately for ten years before accepting a professorship at the Pennsylvania Law School. While a member of the Penn faculty, he came to Harvard for one year as a visiting professor. During this period other faculty members got to know him well, Sacks said.

Wolfman left the University of Pennsylvania last July to work at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, where he is researching tax policy with economists.
