LAW 7655
Property Theory and Practice

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025. Courses of Study 2024-2025 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

This seminar focuses on lease law in the 50 states. I am an Associate Reporter of the ongoing Restatement of the Law Fourth, Property. As I am working on restating the lease law in the 50 states (along with Tom Merrill at Columbia and Henry Smith at Harvard) and consider the policy direction when the state laws are split, this seminar enables students to get involve in the "restating" process. Each week, the discussion centers around a number of closely related issues. Moreover, I have collected information on lease law for more than 100 countries in the world. The instructor thus will also compare the lease law provisions in the US with these countries. A reasonable amount of reading (mostly Restatement drafts) will be assigned.

When Offered Fall.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: 1L Property.
