Cases and Materials

A big-picture look at the history and principles influencing the Anglo-American institution of the law of land, this casebook provides the core materials for a property course, updated with new cases and materials to reflect the ever-changing law. The format of Property allows for a variety of teaching methods and applies easily to courses ranging from three to six hours. The eighth edition expands its treatment of regulatory takings and environmental justice, and its coverage of Russian property law enriches the discussion of property as an institution. This edition retains estates material, emphasizing historical development, with additional cases and notes to show the extent to which the past governs the present. Property also includes new cases on the law of condominiums and landlord/tenant law, as well as updated coverage of easements, profits, covenants, land use regulation, and land transfer and finance.
