Professional Review:
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;

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;

User Reviews:
 Rating 5   Written on May 13, 2007
   Summary: Very Useful
This book was great at explaining some of the weird property rules that are out there in a way that was very understandable, and most importantly, easy to remember. My property class was only one semester, so we didn't cover everything that was in the book, but I can attest to the personal property stuff, adverse possession, servitudes, landlord-tenant law, zoning, nuisance, and eminent domain.

 Rating 2   Written on May 1, 2007
   Summary: Not nearly as good as the other E&Es
The quantity of typographical errors in this hornbook (and it is a second edition!) are sufficient to make me recommend that you don't purchase it. The errors are not just simple misspellings (though there are plenty of those), but the kind were the wrong word, or party name, is used in such a way as to destroy the value of a hypothetical and cause unnecessary confusion. I get the sense reading it that the authors hastily jotted this book on a plane ride and had one too many scotches on the way.

To put it simply, when I found myself going to other sources to "hornbook" my hornbook, I knew it was time for a negative review. At $37, you shouldn't have to double check what is supposed to be your backup. Skip it until they clean up their act with a third edition.


 Rating 3   Written on March 18, 2007
   Summary: Beware - Typos abound
This is a useful resource but unfortunately contains a good many typographical errors. Often these would not be a problem, but where the "Example" identifies people as, for instance, A, B and C, and the "Explanation" indicates A where it should indicate B, that's definitely a problem and may confuse some readers. Obviously the vast majority of these are correct, but in a book like this they should ALL be correct, without exception.

E&E is a good series, but watch out for typos in this volume; there are a lot of them. And pay attention in class.


 Rating 3   Written on March 12, 2007
   Summary: Not really applicable to my class
Very few of the cases in my text are listed in this E&E. I realize that it is not keyed to my text, but that makes it frustrating to utilize to supplement my material. At first, I thought I might have bought the wrong book. I hope that later in the semester it becomes more useful in explaining the concepts.

 Rating 4   Written on January 11, 2007
   Summary: Almost perfect
This book, like most of the other E&E series, were essential for me to get through the first semester of law school. There are some who claim that using these books mean one doesn't pay enough attention in class. This is just flat wrong. I went to class every day but still couldn't grasp the Rule Against Perpetuities until I read this book. I just wish I had known about these E&E books before I went to law school.
