Property: Cases and Materials

by John E. Cribbet, Roger W. Findley, Ernest E. Smith

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. The format of Property allows for a variety of teaching methods and applies easily to courses ranging from three to six hours. The Ninth Edition retains the organization and basic content of prior editions; however, it includes more introductory text to give students the necessary background before examining the difficult problems encountered in the law of property. Many sections have been reorganized to facilitate more efficient coverage of the material.The authors updated the book with relevant cases and materials while maintaining the core property material such as estates in land material, emphasizing historical development, with additional cases and notes to show the extent to which the past governs the present.

Property, you were my first closed book exam, but you will always have a fee simple absolute on my heart (or an easement by necessity).

Way too long; could have been half the size but some notes were helpful.
