Examples & Explanations: Property, Fourth Edition

If you are reading this review it probably means you are a poor, unfortunate sole that was smart enough to get into to law school but not smart enough to get out. Now it is mere weeks before your Property final and you are freaking out about the Rule Against Perpetuities. Just buy this. Do it. It's worth wasting another 50 bucks on yet another book. It really is. The examples are actually really helpful, unlike most casebooks.

This book is called an Example & Explanation book. It helps readers/students who are trying to learn, or who are enrolled in a Real Property course understand the important principles and concepts relating to the various laws and theories of Real Property. It is a great study aid/supplement for students enrolled in Real Property. The text clearly explains the laws governing real property and how the laws work in factual scenarios. Each chapter covers an important concept of Real Property and gives questions, along with answers, to aid the reader in understanding how the laws and theories of Real Property apply.

This text was well-written and very easy to read. It doesn't drown you in technical language, so you can read it very quickly. And, many of the exercise were very helpful to cement your understanding. Definitely consider the exercises if you want to cover your bases, because many of the tricker applications of the concepts are not obvious from just reading the text.Note: I used this as a supplement only - I do not think it would replace studying actual cases, as it is too simplified.

I have two words for you Duke Minier. I know that is just one word, but the reviews of that book (which I was assigned) are not far off. Also using two words for just one describes that book. Thank you to the authors and editors of THIS book. Yes, there are a few bugs in the examples, but the text is spot on.

I have had better E and Es but this one is a decent study aid. Unfortunately, some concepts in the book may conflict with your professor's view but that is with every law class.

Awesome with helping 1L's understand difficult concepts. Even with the couple of pages that I've read I'm feeling more confident about my abilities in understanding the material .

The hornbook aspect of this book was great. Explained the material clearly and concisely. The sample questions, as has been noted, could use some work.

This property E&E was probably the best E&E I've had yet. It explained everything very well and the examples really cut to the question/tested your knowledge to make sure you understood everything. I would definitely recommend this as a study tool for any property class focused on the black letter law!
