Summary

Clear, concise, and current, REAL ESTATE LAW, 7e, delivers the latest information on private and public law transactions. Providing a solid survey of real estate law in a generic--rather than state-specific--format, it combines text, short case summaries, longer teaching cases, and practical applications to help students recognize important issues. Chapters build on each other to tell the "story" of real estate law. Combining practical legal examples with theory, the text does an excellent job of illustrating the principles of law. In addition, it helps readers recognize when an attorney should be consulted. Continuing to emphasize ethical issues, the new edition integrates coverage of public policy issues that relate to real estate law. Insightful exhibits help students understand key concepts, and an excellent assortment of cases challenges readers to apply legal principles to practical situations. Ideal for majors and non-majors alike, the seventh edition prepares students for the next era in real estate law.
