Estates and Future Interests: Problems and Answers

Administrative Law

A concise, clearly written and student-friendly guide, Inside Property Law: What Matters and Why reveals the essential components of property law and how they fit together. An informal, approachable style from the authors of the popular workbook, Estates in Land and Future Interests, clearly lays out intricate areas of property law. Abundant pedagogical devices are designed to enhance understanding, including charts and visual aids as well as key terms that are highlighted and defined in the text. Overviews briefly introduce chapter topics within the context of the course and to convey to students why each matters. The straightforward answers to FAQs address common mistakes and misconception, and Chapter Summaries remind students of the key points. Sidebars serve a variety of purposes, such as explaining terminology, offering additional insights, providing study tips, and lending practice pointers. "Connections" brief sections at the end of each chapter, relate the material across chapters, showing students the interconnected structure of the law's framework. The Second Edition presents a full discussion of the ALI's recently adopted Restatement (Third) of Property (Servitudes), aimed at bringing uniformity and clarity to servitudes law. As it is typically among the most difficult material in first-year property, this is a dramatic departure in the approach to servitudes law. Revised coverage of the loan transaction better explains the mortgage crisis within the context of basic mortgage law. The Second Edition includes coverage of several states' adopting statutes to limit local cities and towns' takings power for purposes of redevelopment.

<li> Comprehensive problem sets for each chapter (550 problems total) with fully explained and analyzed answers in every chapter help to simplify this complex area of property law, and build student confidence more than a simple hornbook or other commercial study guide </li> <li> Coverage of major statutory and judicial reform of the RAP (Rule Against Perpetuities) will insure that this book will not be out of date by the time students prepare for the bar exam </li> <li> Dynamic learning philosophy which espouses that students should focus first on the classifications of estates and future interests, then the rules governing these classifications, and only then the RAP, since the RAP builds upon the classifications and rules.

 New to the Sixth Edition: <ul>

CasebookConnect offers you what you need most to be successful in your law school classes— portability, meaningful feedback, and greater efficiency. This looseleaf version of the Connected Casebook does not come with a binder. Property Law: Practice, Problems, and Perspectives, Second Edition is a truly contemporary 1L Property text. This book is distinguished by its extraordinarily clear and engaging writing, and by the degree to which the authors make the material accessible and enjoyable to students in this foundational course. The authors embrace the task of training lawyers, and as a result, their text regularly asks students to answer questions and solve problems from the perspective of attorneys. The authors delve fully into legal doctrine and address profound policy issues in a direct and understandable manner, drawing upon an outstanding range of case opinions, including those from seminal cases as well those from recent and provocative disputes. Property Law: Practice, Problems, and Perspectives is more than just a text. It incorporates a truly unique online simulation that features practice-ready materials and professionally-produced, author-scripted videos that illuminate property law issues and disputes. The text regularly references documents used in practice, which are available to students in the simulation. New to the Second Edition: <ul><li>Revised and updated case opinions and textual discussion. For example: <ul>
<li>The section addressing the Fair Housing Act now includes a discussion of disparate impact litigation after Texas Dept. of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project, Inc.</li> <li>The chapter devoted to takings law now includes summaries of Horne v. Dept. of Agriculture and Murr v. Wisconsin.</li> <li>New and sometimes startling images, such as a subdivision-marketing poster from San Diego in 1915 that offers a frightening example of pervasive discriminatory housing practices that existed prior to the Fair Housing Act.</li> <li>Enjoyable new problems drawn from reported case opinions. For example, the problem of “The Obstinate Ex,” involving a couple who live together in a home owned individually by one of them. When that person breaks off the relationship, the other refuses to move out, claiming an interest in the property.</li>

This book is the first among legal textbooks to examine a crucial component of real property practice: commercial lease law. Commercial leasing is the lifeblood of commercial real property development in the United States. Real property lawyers regularly represent landlords, tenants and lenders in the leasing of commercial space. This is true in periods of booming real estate development, as well as in periods of economic downturn. Leasing practice is transactional and centers on a single negotiated document the commercial lease. By the end of a course based on this book, students will have developed a genuine understanding of the major terms of the commercial office lease, the goals and objectives of parties to the transaction, and the skills crucial to effective representation. Bogart and Hammond have crafted a book uniquely suited to teaching this important area of practice. The book utilizes a sophisticated commercial office lease form promulgated by the ABA. Each chapter focuses on a particular lease provision. Chapters pull apart contractual language and terms of art, reveal the motivations of the parties to the deal, and finally, examine the underlying substantive law. In addition to presenting interesting case opinions, each chapter provides numerous challenging, real-world problems. Chapters typically conclude by asking students to apply what they have learned to provisions taken from the much-publicized ''Killer Lease.'' The book includes a chapter explicitly discussing professionalism, ethics and negotiations, and contains drafting and negotiation exercises that force students to pull together skills and substantive law lessons. This second edition also includes new problems patterned on authentic leasing practice as well as recent important cases. In much the same way that real estate lawyers confronted newly developed environmental law a generation ago, real estate lawyers today are learning how to meet client demands that leaseholds and leasehold contracting satisfy standards of resource sustainability. This new edition therefore includes a chapter on ''Green Leasing.'' Real estate, property, and transactional law professors who want to help students to develop a real understanding of a transactions-based practice will enjoy Commercial Leasing. This book will form the basis of an exciting elective real estate transactions course.
