Sprankling's Property Law Simulations: Bridge to Practice, 2d

Students learn law better if they use it in simulation exercises. This book contains 14 case files with realistic documents that an attorney practicing property law could encounter. The files cover topics commonly taught in the basic property course: adverse possession; gifts; estates and future interests; cotenancies; marital property; landlord-tenant law; real property sales; mortgages; easements; covenants; nuisance law; eminent domain; and takings. Students can use these files for 22 simulation exercises, focusing on the core skills of negotiation and advocacy.

• 14 exercises provide basic instruction on negotiation, teaching students how to use substantive law to enhance their bargaining positions.
• Six exercises provide basic instruction on advocacy, focusing on use of law in closing arguments after trial.
• Two exercises allow students to participate in complete one-hour jury trials.
• The case files can also be used to teach foundational lawyering skills in preparation for the Uniform Bar Exam.
