Course Syllabi and Information
1st Year/Property I & II/Fall 506-1 and 506-2, Spring
507-1 and 507-2
Property is a first year-required course. The course, like most of
the first year courses, introduces students not only to basic
principles of the law, but also to the process of reading cases and
statutes. Property law is deeply grounded in the common law and is
based upon rules dating back to feudal England. Modern law, in the
form of torts and contracts-based doctrines, also influences
property law. It is the objective of the course to help students
navigate through these influences. A series of practice problems,
drafting exercises, and graded exams will be administered to help
students understand property law. Additionally, students will be
introduced to a series of value sets aimed at preparing them to
acquire skills that will prepare them for the practice of law, in
general. By the end of the
academic year, students should able to successfully pass the
comprehensive exam, and they will have acquired the
knowledge and skills required to pass the bar exam.
