This book was one of the best study aids I have ever found for any of my law school courses. It gave the black letter law and then specific examples applying that law. I highly recommend this for Property class!

This book had a lot of good hypos on each subject. However, it could have used more detail on landlord/tenant. The book also emphasized several areas that my professor wasn't too concerned about.

This is an excellent treatise on the law of property. Because the sections on Bailments, Gifts, Rights of Possessors of Land, Present Possessory Freehold Estates, and Future Interests were very useful, I would recommend this book for the first semester of property. Unfortunately, Hovenkamp's coverage of issues traditionally discussed in second semester property is not as useful. For second semester, I would suggest using Understanding Property of the Understanding Series. This series is published by Lexis. Understanding Property is also useful for first semester, but because Hovenkamp's treatise covers first semester issues well, it's not really necessary.
