This completely revised and streamlined Seventh Edition of Cases and Text on Property by Susan Fletcher French and Gerald Korngold is smart, compact, and thoughtful. The carefully selected and edited cases and problems give students what they need to learn about Property law in the 21st Century. In addition to ample coverage of traditional Property subjects, the text includes substantial coverage of intellectual property, modern servitudes law, common interest communities, and constitutional limits on governmental power to acquire and regulate property.

New to the Seventh Edition:

• A reorganization of Chapter 4 (Property Rights in Creative Works) to begin with copyright, with notes on the Google and TVEyes cases, and an important new case on patent exhaustion, Impression Products, Inc. v. Lexmark Int’l, Inc.
• Important new cases Marbar, Inc. v. Katz; Craig Wrecking Co. v. S.G. Loewendick & Sons, Inc.; Vallely Investments, L.P. v. Bancamerica Commercial Corp; Sparks v. Fidelity Nat’l Title Ins. Co.; and Coons v. Carstensen
• A new subsection in Chapter 13 (The Takings Clause) that highlights coverage of the public trust doctrine with two new Supreme Court cases, Murr v. Wisconsin and Horne v. Dep’t of Agriculture
• The authors have continued to revise and streamline the casebook without adding additional pages to this new edition.

Professors and students will benefit from:

• Traditional cases-and-notes pedagogy with integrated problems
• Introductory chapters that put contemporary property law in historical context
• A casebook renowned for its absorbing text and teachable cases that many users have stayed with for the entire span of their careers
• A casebook well-suited for a 4-unit Property course, but also with sufficient material that it can readily be adapted for a 5- or 6-unit course
