Most of the rules covered in standard real property casebooks are summarized in this concise work. For quick reference the text is divided into three sections. Part One overviews interests in land, such as adverse possession, common-law estates, and concurrent ownership. Part Two covers conveyances through real estate brokers, contract of sale, transfer of title by deed, and mortgages. Part Three concludes with a discussion on miscellaneous property doctrines.

AMAZING!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Real Property in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (West Publishing)) (Paperback)
I am a Harvard law student and I went CRAZY preparing for exams. (as did everyone else) but a wise 3L gave me some advice that saved my life. Here is goes: Use Gilbert's on Prop to learn the black letter law of the cases you will be studying. Then use West Group's High Court Summaries to figure out in simpler terms your case. Read your cases. After you learn each subject, do the problems in Examples and Explanations to really apply your knowledge. At this point you may have lost sight of the forest for all the trees... Then for the week before the exam, this nutshell will become your bible. It is clear, concise, and presents difficult but very clarifying examples of applications of laws after each law you learn. It was the perfect compact tool to "bring you back into the forest." I got an A in property (am VERY proud of myself) and it was because of this book. I highly suggest you buy.

This review is from: Real Property in a Nutshell (Paperback)
one of the better nut shells out there. Property can be a dense subject and reading this book as review before an upcoming final or just to refresh your memory on a subject is really helpful. Covers a lot of material and does a good job giving a short, concise, and to the point description of a term or concept. Keep in mind it is just a nut shell, so it probably wouldn't be a good book to get if you want to cram right before a final; even though its short, it isn't as detailed as it needs to be for a final exam or anything. So the best use it for a quick read or review here and there in preparation for class or an exam. If you're thinking about trying out a nut shell for property, this one is a good one to get.
