Kurtz and Hovenkamp's Cases and Materials on American Property Law, 5th

Materials in this edition have been reorganized and notes updated as appropriate. New cases have been added regarding rights of possessors, organs as property, and class gifts. Chapters on servitudes and nuisance are updated. Chapters on takings and zoning have been significantly revised. In particular, the takings chapter includes the Supreme Court's Kelo and Lingle decisions, including a detailed discussion of the angry aftermath to Kelo in both Congress and state legislatures. The chapters devoted to real estate transfer issues remain largely intact with updating and the addition of one case relating to rescission of a land sales contract.
