Great Book

I had property this semester and this book was great. It has quite a few outlines that can be straight up copied and pasted into your outlines. The cases are abridged really well which keeps the reading assignments reasonable in length. The only negative comment I have about this book is that it does contain a certain amount of repetition. I wish the rest of my textbooks were this clear and concise.

Best law textbook on property you can get!

If you are looking for a property text, you cannot do better than this book. It is not only the best property textbook published right now, it is one of the finest legal textbooks I have had to read. The writing is clear and comprehensible, and the cases are well chosen: provocative while remaining good examples of Black Letter Law. My property class was the only section using Singer's book, and we are the only section that actually enjoyed the area of property law. This was not a coincidence.

You don't need a professor to teach you property law ...

... all you need is this textbook! Logically organized, comprehensive and explains complex concepts in a down-to-earth, easy-to-understand manner. The emphasis on the policy behind the rules is also extremely helpful. You won't need to buy a commercial outline with this book.

This is the best casebook I have ever read.

The true greatness of this casebook is that it renders hornbooks and other guides superfluous. It is a truly great casebook in an area of the law I thought would bore me to death. It is so good it makes some of those New Jersey cases almost palatable.

Most useful and interesting text on property law

In a field that is usually dry and obscure, this book brings together fascinating and timely problems, historical materials, and even works from imaginative literature. It also makes all the rules absolutely clear and easy to understand. For any student of property law, or law more generally, this is a must read!
