An innovative exam preparation tool, Property: Hypotheticals, Self-Assessment Rubrics, and Tools for Success addresses crucial problems students face as they approach exams. Exam-style hypotheticals are hard to find and never have detailed grading rubrics that will produce accurate scoring and actionable feedback.
This book solves this problem by providing:
- A primer on legal analysis, with an emphasis on how to apply rules and a simple pattern for producing excellent exam answers;
- An extensive collection of hypotheticals that range from simple to difficult exam-level complexity;
- Detailed grading rubrics that allow students to self-grade in a way that produces actionable feedback;
- Explanations of common error patterns with specific and practicable strategies for correction; and
- Sample great answers and bad answers with annotations showing what makes an answer effective or ineffective.
Property: Hypotheticals, Self-Assessment Rubrics, and Tools for Success is equally helpful as a supplement to the basic property law course, a coursebook for academic success, or a practice book for the bar.
The author, Professor Jill Fraley, is an award-winning teacher and scholar, who has held two Fulbright Scholar appointments and received the AALS Scholarly papers prize. She is a master teacher known for enabling super-successful students.
