Book Reviews of Property
Book Review: A Decent Property Book...
Summary: 4 Stars
The editors gathered up some interesting cases and added some colorful commentary and excellent problems... the only problem lies in the fact that the casebook does not also supply the student with a decent property teacher!"Book Review: finally some decent casebook editors!
Summary: 4 Stars
the editors' notes actually made this book entertaining. (one in Ghen v Rich made me LOL)it was one of my favorite casebooks to read. the "problems" are good to think about, but i hate it when they say something like "what would happen if X blah blah blah..?" and their answer is "See X v. Y". pictures are nice as are the follow-ups on some of the people involved in the cases. Yay for good editors!Book Review: Answers please
Summary: 4 Stars
This casebook is interesting and well-written. It would be absolutely perfect if it included answers to the thought-provoking problems which are sprinkled throughout (preferably in the back of the book). My professor did not go over most of the problems and I was left wondering whether I had answered them correctly or not.Book Review: As good a casebook as you can reasonably hope for
Summary: 4 Stars
Not only is Dukeminier & Krier's "Property" well-written and interesting, it features something very unusual for a law school casebook: pictures! There is something very heartwarming about a casebook that includes pictures related to the cases, such as: a diagram of a 19th century duck decoy, portraits of Justice Louis D. Brandeis and King Henry VIII, and "Seaweed," by Georgia O'Keefe. A very enjoyable read.Book Review: Well written and good information.
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a good text for my Property class. One of the things I liked about it is that there is follow-up on some of the more interesting cases provided in afternotes. Of course, you can never give 5 stars to a book you're forced to read, but it's hard to find a law text that breaks it down without *completely* boring you. This does it pretty well.
