This textbook is an innovative departure from a traditional casebook that uniquely harmonizes best practices for student learning with a lawyering practice orientation. Addressing all the major topics of property law, the text continually places students in the role of practitioners who apply their learning by evaluating real world practice based problems and documents and engage in professional identity development.

Additionally, the book makes student learning easier and more effective by implementing proven instructional strategies, including explicit organization with clear explanations of law, only then diving into cases and statutes with framing questions up front, multiple methods of instruction, graphic organizers and illustrations, active learning exercises, and plentiful opportunities for practice, recursion and synthesis.

This book is part of the Context and Practice Series, edited by Michael Hunter Schwartz, Professor of Law and Dean of the McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific.
