My name is Joelle Desjardins from Ahuntsic College. I have been in my program for the past two years. My program is Social Science with math. To be more precise, this program is for the people that are studying the social part of humans. You can either study sociality, psychology, anthropology. I also have math classes, and it will help you to get in university in order to study the topic of the glossary down bellow. My glossary is for the people that are interested in becoming Tax Lawyers. To explain in details, these lawyers are made to represent companies whenever they need it. I have made this glossary in order to help people to become more familiar with the topic and to be more professional. It includes Twente terms, and it contains the pronunciations of them all, what the terms mean, when to tell them and the translation. I used Google to help me create the glossary. I want you guys to be more comfortable with the terms and become experts of the topic so that you be more aware of what a tax lawyer is.
