• Edited versions of recent Supreme Court cases such as McGirt v. Oklahoma and Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid, and updates to notes discussing contemporary property issues.
• Edits to chapters on estates and future interests to facilitate a range of choices about which material to cover.

• Tightly and clearly organized, both substantively and visually, with a balance of new and classic cases
• Shorter page count than other Property casebooks—allowing it to focus on the core, doctrinal aspects of Property law
• Visual aids—including maps, diagrams, and photographs
• Clear identification of the majority/minority/trend status of each rule, as relevant
• Chapter Reviews—with concise post-case notes, multiple choice and essay questions (with answers in the Appendix), and “Bringing it Home” statutory practice (guiding students in researching their state’s statutory coverage of selected topics likely to be regulated by statute)
• Clearly-marked pedagogy—including “A Place to Start” boxes that present sufficient doctrinal background to free up precious class time for digging deeper into nuance and ambiguity
• “Reading Guide” boxes preceding cases—to guide the students in extracting contextual meaning from cases
• A skills exercise in each chapter—providing in-depth opportunities for students to develop skills related to the substantive material covered in the chapter
• A discussion problem in each chapter—providing a rich factual context to facilitate further exploration of law and policy as applied to fresh, modern contexts
• Post-case notes—including “Practice Pointers” asking students to re-draft ambiguous language in documents that precipitated litigation, to explore alternatives to litigation, and to advise clients on litigation strategy
• Notes on “The Place”—conveying background about the geographic location of the disputed property, and designed to remind students that legal disputes can be influenced by physical and human context
• Relevant statutory and Restatement excerpts—collected and presented in one location within the chapter (rather than scattered in snippets throughout)
• Periodic statutory excerpts and exercises—introducing students to the interplay of common law and statutory law
• “Test Your Understanding” sections—containing problems that the professor can work through during class (with answers in the teacher’s manual), or that can be left to the students for self-directed learning
