(In today's world, lawyers tend to become identified more ...)
In today's world, lawyers tend to become identified more with law and less with people, the public interest, social welfare and the common good. However, many lawyers are sensitive, people-oriented professionals who relate to their clients as persons and not as problems. The authors argue that counseling is the heart and soul of lawyering, and that it is an integral part of the legal education.

In the Third Edition, the book has been updated throughout with new cases and materials while retaining the basic format. The unique contribution of this casebook to the teaching of Property Law is its inclusion of problems and materials that allow the teacher to introduce students to issues in professional ethics and client counseling in a way that integrates well with the coverage of Property Law. In addition, it also provides problems that allow for an exposure to ADR. This book also takes a very teachable approach to the standard coverage of a four- to six-hour basic property course.

Materials cover property law concepts and doctrine that will lead students to appreciate the challenges of property law practice and public policy issues. Both the materials on professional responsibility and ADR are focused toward allowing the teacher to use them to reinforce substantive legal principles while introducing students to important questions in law practice.
