Summary of Property Examples & Explanations, 3rd Edition

• eminently clear and readable text
• six-part topical organization that matches the coverage of most first-year property courses and follows the organization of the best selling property casebook by Dukeminier, Krier, Alexander & Schill
• rich pedagogy includes boldfaced legal terms and visual aids, such as charts and diagrams, especially for common-law estates--a topic that lends itself to diagrammatic presentation
• the authors address principal cases used in most leading casebooks
• skilled and experienced authorship by long-time teachers and scholars of property law

• updated coverage of takings to include recent Supreme Court cases Tahoe-Sierra Preservation Council Inc. v. Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, Kelo v. New London, and Lingle v. Chevron U.S.A.
• expanded introduction to trusts with clear and detailed descriptions of a trust, a grantor, a trustee, a life beneficiary, and a remainderman
• new substantive material added to coverage of:
  • the recording acts
  • the Third Restatement of Property concerning Servitudes (covenants and equitable servitudes)
  • Private Nuisance (Chapter 27) adjacent and subjacent support
• updated coverage of the Rule Against Perpetuities
• many examples and explanations have been revised for greater clarity and effectiveness
