Property Law: Rules, Policies, and Practices (Aspen Casebook)

This hugely successful cases-and-problems book, acclaimed for its textual clarity and socially progressive but evenhanded perspective and its contemporary, up-to-date character, is easily distinguished from other property casebooks through its explanations of the social ramifications of property law; its inclusion of numerous statutes and its emphasis on both statutory interpretation and the interrelationship between common law and statutes and regulation; its comprehensive treatment of public accommodations and fair housing law, current tribal property issues, and property in human bodies; and its use of the problem method to teach legal reasoning and lawyering skills. In its Sixth Edition, three "rising stars" join the book as co-authors.

• New sections on cultural property, environmental law, natural resources, and corporations and other entity property
• New organization with an attractive and engaging student-friendly format, including new diagrams, pictures, and background material
• Fully updated with recent issues and cases such as Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc. (2013) and Koontz v. St. John's River Water Management Dist. (2013)
• New chapter on equal protection and due process as well as more materials on RLUIPA (discrimination in zoning laws against churches and other religious entities)
• New themes, including the emerging impact of climate change on property law
