Legal Writing and Analysis

Providing visual learners with graphics and contextual learners with overviews, Edwards (law, Mercer University) demystifies estates and future interests, a notoriously difficult area of property law. She explains basic concepts in simple language and builds on these concepts with study questions, exercises, and a flow chart linking various estates to the future interests that follow them. The book can work with any property case book, but is designed to match the coverage and approach of Dukeminier and Krier's casebook, Property. This edition incorporates revisions to the law.
