• Property Dukeminier 8th Edition

Hi all,I don't post here much, but I figured this was probably the best site on which to ask this question. My property prof has assigned Dukeminier's 7th edition, and I'm wondering if any of you may know whether the 6th edition is close enough to the 7th for me to save some money by buying that one? Frankly, I don't know why I'm even bothering since the universal consensus is that the prof does everything but teach property, but I digress.

Any, and all help with this matter is very greatly appreciated.Thanks!

Prince, Problems in Contract Law, Cases and Materials (6th ed. 2007), Chomsky, Kunz, Rusch and Schiltz’s Selected Commercial Statutes for Sales and Contracts Courses (2010 ed.), and Restatement (Second) of Contracts (1981).

Please note that there have been some significant changes in the Knapp, Crystal & Prince casebook from the 5th edition, so I highly recommend that you use the most recent edition. However, older editions of the statutory supplement are fine. You may want to make sure that you have plenty of room in the statutory supplement for notes and your personal mark-up. I will be handing out a syllabus and additional reading assignments in the first class.

For the first day of class, please review the introductory material (pages 1-17) for background and carefully read and prepare to discuss pages 21-33. We will only briefly look at the introductory material, but do not skip it. This material will show up throughout the semester and will give you a good foundation for the substantive material we will cover. In addition, please look at the following sections of Restatement (Second) of Contracts in your statutory supplement - §§ 1, 2, 17, 21. We will be referring to these provisions as well.

If you have difficulty acquiring either book, please feel free to email or contact me, and I'll be happy to provide you with copies for the first day. Welcome to Contracts! 8 511A Torts Levit The textbook we will use is: Dan B. Dobbs, Paul T.

Hayden & Ellen M. Bublick, Torts and Compensation, Personal Accountability and Social Responsibility for Injury (West Publishing Co., 6th edition, 2009). Please note that this is a new edition that was just published last year. (The former 5th edition will not work.) This new edition has a black cover, while the covers of the prior editions were brown. Also, this new edition comes in a regular and a “concise” edition. We will be using the regular edition—the regular edition just does not have the words “concise edition” on the front cover.

Please also download our supplement from the internet at under Torts I Syllabus and Supplementary Materials (in either Word or.pdf format). The supplement contains a syllabus, several case links, and a variety of old exams, midterms, and answer keys. There are no dates attached to the readings in the syllabus. At the end of each class, I will tell you the reading assignment for the next class. I will also alert you if any of the readings are cases to download from the syllabus. For our first class session on Tuesday, August 24, please read pages 2-3 (“What is Tort Law?”) and pages 22-27 (“Procedures at Trial”) in the textbook as background, and please read and brief the cases on pages 35-top of 39 ( Van Camp v. McAfoos and Snyder v.

See you soon! 8 511B Torts Thompson (revised 8/9/10) Required Text: Torts & Compensation by Dobbs, Hayden & Bublick (West 6th Ed. Be sure to obtain the Sixth Edition and not the Fifth Edition (2005), which may also be available in the bookstore. This new edition has a black cover, while the covers of the prior editions were brown. Also, this new edition comes in a regular and a “concise” edition. We will be using the regular edition—the regular edition does not have the words “concise edition” on the front cover. For our first class, please read pages 2-9 and 20-32 of Dobbs & Hayden for background only.

Also read and brief pages 35-44, which we will discuss in class. 8 511C Torts Rostron The textbook for this course is Torts and Compensation, Personal Accountability and Social Responsibility for Injury by Dan B. Dobbs, Paul T. Hayden and Ellen M. Bublick (West Publishing Co., 6th edition, 2009). Please note that we’ll be using the 6th edition of this book.

That edition of the book has a black cover, and previous editions had a brown cover. So if you see a used copy with a brown cover, don’t buy it – you want the one with the black cover.

In addition, please note that the 6th edition of the book comes in both a regular version and a “concise edition.” We will be using the regular version, so please make sure you get that one. The concise edition has the words “concise edition” on the front cover, and the regular version does not.

For our first class session, please read pages 2-3, 22-27, and 35-43 of the textbook. The section on “What is Tort Law?” (pages 2-3) and the section on litigation procedures (pages 22-27) are for background purposes only. They will tell you a little bit about tort law, why we read judicial opinions, and the basic procedures in a civil lawsuit. The first class session will focus on the cases on pages 35-43, so please read them carefully and be prepared to answer questions about them. Magic views bot cracked egg.

(You do not need to read the A.R.B. Elkin case, which starts on page 43, so you can stop reading at the end of the notes preceding it.) 8 522A Civil Procedure II Achtenberg Welcome back. I hope you all had good summers. Before the first day of class, you should enroll in the Lexis Web Course for Civil Procedure II.

Dukeminier Property 9th Edition

We will probably not get to it on the first day but it’s a difficult case that may take you more than one day to brief and prepare. 8 522B Civil Procedure II Thomas We will be using the same casebook as Civ. I last semester, Civil Procedure: A Modern Approach (5th ed.), by Marcus et al.

We will be using the supplement as well, but not for the first class. For the first day of class (Tuesday, August 24, 2010), please read and brief Pennoyer v. Neff and review the notes after the case (pp.

Be prepared to identify the holding of P ennoyer and consider the use of a state’s “power” as the basis for the exercise of personal jurisdiction. Is that a justifiable basis? Does that approach work in a modern economy?

The statutory compilation contains the statutes and regulations we will use in class. The statutes are also available online for free.

I suggest you wait until after the first class to buy the statutory compilation.

8 601L Transactional Lawyering Skills Lab Downs Luppino Assignment for first Fall 2010 class session (August 31): Read course Syllabus (including Case Study #1) and Term Sheet Instructions and prepare a draft “Term Sheet” in accordance with the Term Sheet Instructions. Note: Per the Term Sheet Instructions you are to submit your draft Term Sheet to Libby Johnson no later than 10:00AM Monday, August 30 (the day before the first class session). We understand that this type of drafting will be a brand new experience for most (perhaps all) students in the course. You need not do any research for this assignment—we are just looking for a good effort based on the Term Sheet Instructions and the Issues Outline we are giving you in connection with this assignment. Moreover, we understand that many of you are just starting the Business Organizations course and may have no significant prior experience with or education on business concepts—the assignment is designed with those understandings in mind. We will discuss the concept of a “term sheet” for a start-up business venture in more detail at the first class session, but, as a learning experience, want you to first give it a try with limited instruction (for reasons we will also discuss in class). 8 611 Estates and Trusts Hanna Please read the first 47 pages of WILLS, TRUSTS & ESTATES, Dukeminier, Johanson, Lindgren & Sitkoff (7th Edition).

If you prefer not to purchase the book, you can rent a copy from the publisher for $22.25 a month (details are at ). For the first class (which is on Tuesday, August 24), please read pages 30-32. 8 633 First Amendment Linder.
