The materials in this book are highly accessible to students, presented in a straightforward but intellectually rigorous manner. There are a large number of contemporary cases, although the classics have been retained. The Questions following the cases (which number more than in most Property books) provide a guide for instructors on teaching each case, while still allowing sophisticated discussions of doctrine and policy.

An extremely thorough and detailed Teacher's Manual is also available.

This book also is available in a three-hole punched, alternative loose-leaf version printed on 8.5 x 11 inch paper with wider margins and with the same pagination as the hardbound book.
