Book Reviews of Gilbert Law Summaries on Property, 17th (Gilbert Law Summaries)
Book Review: The Dukeminier/Krier textbook, expanded and clarified
Summary: 4 Stars
If your property professor follows the majority trend and decides to use the Dukeminier/Krier casebook, Gilbert's law summaries will be an absolute godsend. I actually really liked the casebook (what can I say; the occasional interjections of bitter self-awareness really lightened up what could have otherwise been an intolerably ponderous subject), but found it to be simply too dense at times, especially in those areas of property that collide unpleasantly with reality. Future Interests, for example, is a notoriously difficult subject to grasp, and I found the D/K casebook's approach to be a little too historical and a little too rich...
...making this outline exactly what I needed. Dukeminier's historically based focus is still in evidence here, and you really still get everything that's present in the textbook, but it's conveyed in a far more comprehensible, far less intimidating fashion. If you missed the finer distinctions between an EI and a CR, you'll definitely find the explanations here to be illuminating.
The outline fares less well in its discussions of the more doctrinally gray/heavy areas of a 1L property course (e.g. zoning, regulatory takings), but this shouldn't come as a surprise.
All in all, if you have a Property professor who uses the DK casebook and whose approach follows the historically grounded construction of property, you'll find this particular Gilbert's outline to be an invaluable reference and clarifying tool throughout the semester.
