Thought provoking cases and commentary. My students have really enjoyed this book, its selected cases and editors' notes and food for thought. The organization seems logical and gives a fresh new twist/perspective on the topic. Plus, the quality of the book is high: nice big margins for note-taking, bright pages and well-bound exterior (one would think that any casebook costing north of $100 would present such quality, but sadly this is not the case). While light on the estates & interests section (easily remedied with a supplement focusing on such topics), and even though the teacher's manual is very scarce (more questions than answers - which is fine, but many topics are skipped altogether), the book is a nice alternative for 1L Property.

Howell Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:11:23 +0000 http://www.samanawasipuno.com/property-principles-and-policies-3/#comment-518 I've only been in Property for one week, but this book has already helped me begin to grasp concepts without having to buy lots of other study aids and/or hornbooks. The cases and notes have multiple levels - I get through the basics on my own, and then go to class to find the deeper layers. The cases themselves are interesting, and the notes following (unlike in some casebooks) actually promote an understanding of what you've just read. In sum: it's a law school casebook and I haven't found anything bad to say about it yet! If you're interested in Property, this is definitely a useful resource.
