Ethical Problems In The Practice Of Law (Casebook)

Lisa G. Lerman

Philip G. Schrag

Ethics & Professional Responsibility

In this casebook, Chemerinsky (Duke U. School of Law) presents three types of material: major cases, edited secondary cases, and his own contextual essays on the cases he's selected. For the second edition, new material has been added concerning presidential power in the war on terrorism, decisions concerning state sovereign immunity, and Bush v. Gore. For clearer presentation, no numbered notes follow the cases. There are ten chapters, which may be used in any order, on the federal judicial, legislative, and executive power; on topics that include limits on state regulatory and taxing power; economic liberties; equal protection; and freedom of expression under the First Amendment.

Constitutional Law

Erwin Chemerinsky

Providing visual learners with graphics and contextual learners with overviews, Edwards (law, Mercer University) demystifies estates and future interests, a notoriously difficult area of property law. She explains basic concepts in simple language and builds on these concepts with study questions, exercises, and a flow chart linking various estates to the future interests that follow them. The book can work with any property case book, but is designed to match the coverage and approach of Dukeminier and Krier's casebook, Property. This edition incorporates revisions to the law.

<li>presenting class-tested materials and ample illustrations that are both accessible and teachable </li>

Administrative Law and Regulatory Policy: Problems, Text, and Cases

Richard B. Stewart

Adrian Vermeule

Administrative Law

Keating (law, Washington University) takes a systems perspective, focusing on the institutions and mechanisms that market participants use to conduct their transactions, in this text for a course in sales law. Material is organized into 28 assignments for use in class sessions devoted exclusively to problem-solving rather than lecture or analysis of cases. Assignments include cases from the mid-1990s or later, provisions from actual sales documents and forms, excerpts from interviews with buyers and sellers, and newspaper stories illustrating how the sales systems affects people in the real world. Coverage encompasses the domestic and international sale of goods, leases, and real estate. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This highly respected and widely used casebook -- long recognized by both students and instructors as one of the best available for any course -- continues to offer a dynamic and distinctive introduction to the law of property. Carefully preserving the excellent foundation created by original authors the late Jesse Dukeminier and James Krier, PROPERTY, Sixth Edition, incorporates a wealth of new material. What makes PROPERTY such an ideal casebook? <ul>
<li> a unique blend of wit, erudition, insight, and playfulness </li> <li> engaging structure that encompasses cases, text, questions, problems, visual illustrations, and examples </li> <li> modular organization makes the book highly adaptable to a range of syllabi and equally well suited for use in property courses with different emphases and credit hours </li> <li> distinctive sense of humor and human-interest perspective </li> <li> comprehensive coverage of property topics, including in-depth treatment of estates and future interests, servitudes, and land-use controls </li> <li> cases are enhanced and connected to broader legal principles by well-written notes, questions, and problems </li> <li> the authors employ an accessible 'economic lens' as a tool for thinking critically about property -- with the caveat that 'the economics in the book can be managed easily... even by the totally uninitiated; it can also be ignored or even scorned.' </li> <li> extensive Teacher's Manual that answers every question and problem in the casebook, provides brief comments, and offers deeper analysis and observations </li> </ul>
 Changes for the Sixth Edition reflect meticulous updating: <ul>
<li> James Krier is joined by new coauthors Gregory Alexander and Michael Schill in integrating new developments while carefully retaining the distinctive character of this highly successful casebook </li> <li> Intellectual Property materials are substantially revised to incorporate cases recommended by users and decrease the emphasis on cyberspace </li> <li> the Takings chapter is fully updated with new developments and recent Supreme Court cases, including Tahoe Sierra and Kelo v. New London </li> <li> chapters on Estates and Future Interests are shortened by deleting older materials on the Rule Against Perpetuities (RAP) and adding newer materials on the RAP and Dynastic Trusts </li> <li> real estate transaction coverage is enhanced by: a shorter, more up-to-date description of a typical transaction; an updated sales contract; a new section on brokers with a case on broker fiduciary duty; new text on multiple listing services, antitrust implications, and broker commissions; e-signatures and the statute of frauds; remedies for breach of real estate sales contracts, including two new cases on the calculation of damages, rescission, and retention of deposit; and new emphasis on how the law of real property differs from the law of contracts and the UCC </li> <li> prudent trimming of the materials on Equitable Servitudes, particularly on touch and concern and vertical privity requirements </li> <li> for professors who prefer to devote less time to future interests, a new, optional 'short form' version appears in the completely updated Teacher's Manual </li> </ul>
