Cases and Materials on American Property Law
This title is a part of our CasebookPlus™ offering as ISBN 9798895458914. Learn more at

This extensively-revised casebook presents a streamlined and efficient approach to property law, completely reimagined for today’s classroom. The 8th edition features a distinguished new co-author with a national reputation, bringing fresh perspectives and enhanced pedagogical effectiveness to this foundational text. The cases, notes, questions, and problems continue to reflect settled doctrine, emerging trends, and best practices in property law, while new case introductions help law students more easily discern common law principles.
The book’s structure has been strategically reorganized through the combination and collapse of chapters to increase efficiency and connectivity between related concepts. To enhance teaching flexibility, deeper coverage has been moved to the robust Teacher’s Manual, allowing professors to tailor their course coverage by selecting additional materials that best serve their pedagogical goals and time constraints.
This comprehensive yet more accessible approach maintains rigorous coverage of material traditionally taught in first-year property courses while providing students with a clearer understanding of property law’s public and private dimensions. The casebook continues to establish a solid foundation for upper-level courses, including trusts and estates, real estate finance, mortgages, land-use planning and zoning, secured transactions, and related fields, making it an ideal choice for faculty seeking enhanced teaching efficiency without sacrificing academic depth.
