Examples & Explanations for Property

Examples & Explanations

by Barlow Burke

Clear, informal, and even humorous, Examples & Conflicts of Law, Fourth Edition , explores all topics covered in Conflicts courses, including personal jurisdiction and the Erie doctrine. It covers traditional and modern approaches to choice of law, proof of law, and enforcement of foreign country and sister state judgments. It provides up-to-date coverage of constitutional limits on personal jurisdiction, choice of law, and actions against sister states. Big-picture overviews and accurate statements of rules are reinforced with concrete examples and test-taking tips.

The powerful Examples & Explanations pedagogy works especially well for Conflict of Laws where students gain understanding of rules and policies by applying them to new fact patterns. Summaries of leading cases found in most casebooks and a modular organization allows easy adaptation to any course.

Helpful property law supplement. Did it save my grade? We will see.

Excellent. My property TA friend uses this and won’t return it to me because of how good it is. I hope that one day this book will be returned to my loving hands so that I may be able to caress its pages and reread it.

a last ditch effort to stay in school
upDATE: did not get an A- in property so TWO STARS

[An Hosek]

Would’ve never understood life estates and future interests without this. loved that the examples were relatively short. need to get passed around at a party like Blackacre getting passed around to every landowner in the world

I'm generally a big fan of the Examples and Explanations series, but this was a bit less clear to me than some of the others. I think it had to do with its structure, but I blame that less on the book than on the subject of Property, which is a rather disaggregated course/ subject to begin with. Perhaps I was hoping for too much.

I think that the end of chapter questions often made the subject more and not less confusing. This is especially the case in instances where the authors included extraneous and unimportant information in the answer that fully clouded the issue. I also thought that the coverage of the subjects lessened as I got further into the book and seemed to be rushed.

A solid reference for American property law and provides great practice problems to drill the concepts. This book helped me grasp the Rule Against Perpetuities and better understand future interests!
