Property Treatise – Thoroughly Updated and Revised

This comprehensive overview of property law presents both foundational doctrines and modern developments covered in the first-year property course in a clear, accessible, and engaging format. The text offers lucid explanations of property principles, supported by illustrative examples, careful analysis of leading cases, and issue-based discussions followed by thoughtfully crafted hypotheticals. Particular attention is given to the significant disagreements among states regarding property rules, with clear explanations of why jurisdictions adopt differing approaches.

With exceptional clarity and insight, Joseph William Singer, joined by Professor Nestor M. Davidson, delivers an authoritative and pedagogically rich treatment of property law. The Seventh Edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to reflect recent legal developments, ensuring that students and instructors are working with current doctrine. The book’s extensive use of examples and hypotheticals deepens understanding and helps illuminate both classic concepts and emerging issues in property law.

• Major Supreme Court rulings on regulatory takings, including Tyler v. Hennepin County (2023), recognizing owners’ rights to surplus equity following tax foreclosure, and Sheetz v. County of El Dorado (2024), holding that legislative exactions are subject to Nollan/Dolan scrutiny
