Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The focused coverage of Property Examples and Explanations, Third Edition, along with the proven Examples and Explanations format, which combines textual material with well-written examples, explanations, and questions that test the reader's understanding of the material covered, makes this text an invaluable means for helping students master the intricacies of property law. Among the features that have made this study aid a success:
Eminently clear and readable text;
Six-part topical organization that matches the coverage of most first-year property courses and follows the organization of the best selling property casebook by Dukeminier, Krier, Alexander & Schill;
Rich pedagogy includes boldfaced legal terms and visual aids, such as charts and diagrams, especially for common-law estates, a topic that lends itself to diagrammatic presentation;
The authors address principal cases used in most leading casebooks;
Skilled and experienced authorship by long-time teachers and scholars of property law.

New to the Third Edition:
Updated coverage of takings to include recent Supreme Court cases, Tahoe-Sierra Preservation Council Inc. v. Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, Kelo v. New London, and Lingle v. Chevron U.S.A.;
Expanded introduction to trusts with clear and detailed descriptions of a trust, a grantor, a trustee, a life beneficiary, and a remainderman;
New substantive material added to coverage of:
The recording acts;
The Third Restatement of Property concerning Servitudes (covenants and equitable servitudes);
Private Nuisance, Chapter 27, adjacent and subjacent support;
Updated coverage of the Rule Against Perpetuities;
Many examples and explanations have been revised for greater clarity and effectiveness;
Language in the text has been simplified where needed for even greater accessibility.

With its focused coverage, concise format, and problem-based format, Property Examples and Explanations, Third Edition, continues to provide Property students with the help and confidence they need to master this difficult first-year course.

4.0 out of 5 stars When reading the reviews below understand they are for old edition, June 28, 2005
First---as I've reviewed for the other E&E's, the database is melding the reviews together.

I'm speaking of the newest edition which is quite good. I laughed reading the reviews below where people compare these to emanuel's and gilbert's when really they are a different breed.

If you do your job and outline and supplement with E&E you really can't go wrong. They provide explanations and practice, not a "hold your hand and walk you through everything and do your outlining for you" method that apparently a lot of students want--hence the sales of emanuels and gilbert's.

In sum, if you are looking for a comprehensive outline on law get a commercial outline. If you are looking for explanations and real practice, take a look at these. As the reviewer below stated, this newer edition is definately worth a shot.

3.0 out of 5 stars Make sure you're getting the new edition, June 5, 2005
By indy_scarlet (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews
The two editions appear to be tied together in Amazon's database. Reviews given to one appear in both places. In my opinion, the Second Edition (ISBN 0735539790) resolves a lot of the criticisms that I have heard and read about the first edition. Let the reviews scare you away from the old edition, but give the new one a look. It's worth it.

1.0 out of 5 stars A great disappointment., April 24, 2002
By A Customer
Don't waste your money on the first edition; get the Gilbert's outline instead. Then, if you have questions, just ask your prof.

Compared to the Examples & Explanations for Contracts (Blum), Torts (Glannon), and the astounding Civil Procedure (Glannon), this book was a big let-down. Either Aspen needs to have some student reviewers, or the editors at Aspen need to get their act together and compare what is in the book with a commercial outline.

In our study group, we randomly turned to two examples & explanations. In one case, the authors said that they differed on the outcome, but only gave one authors opinion (Implied Warranty of Habitability, chp 20, example #10). In another (on Dower, Chp 14., example 1), the answer is flat-out wrong.

I do like that the chapters are short, and not intimidating, but the explanations have to be beefed up and well-developed. They are not in this book, and I cannot recommend anyone purchase it. I'm not wasting any time using it in preparation for finals.

You will read the cases and go to class, but you can't touch this subject until you've answered fifty questions WRONG. It can either be in this book or on the exam. You decide.
