A Valuable Tool.,
This review is from: Introduction to the Law of Real Property: An Historical Background of the Common Law of Real Property and Its Modern Application (American Casebook) (Hardcover)
As a First Year Law Student I am required to take a class on property law. Until my professor started to talk about estates I was doing well. Sensing the utter confusion my classmates and I had on the subject he recommended this book for us. He was absolutely right. This book is an invaluable tool for those learning about property law for the first time. I'd be lost without it.

Fantastic black letter explanation of 1L property class,

This review is from: Introduction to the Law of Real Property (Hardcover)
I'm at a #7 ranked law school and have a terrible property textbook and throughout the year I used this book to bolster my understanding. Many times I felt like I understand much better than my classmates becaues this book gives you such a solid foundation. It also has exercises for each little section so you get it all down pat! Now I am studying for my 1L property final and am so grateful to have this book that I took the time to come here and write a review. This book is especially strong for understanding present and future interests in possessory estates. But it also has concurrent ownership (joint tenancy, tenancy in common, etc.). Finally, this book is slim and small so I am even grateful for that because toting around all the heavy law textbooks makes you not take this for granted. ;)Thank you Cornelius Moynihan!

Understand property, don't just read about it.,
By John "Graphic Designer" (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to the Law of Real Property (Hardcover)
My girlfriend is in law school. When she had time to talk to me the other day, she told me about how this book has been a huge help and helped her understand her property class better than her other textbooks. Not for the novice, but perfect for the future lawyer that really needs to understand the concepts.
