Policy Focused Property Course Forum

[Eruannon]

I am taking property this semester and we are using the Dukeminier book. In addition to this, the professor seems to focus a lot on policy questions during lecture. Can anyone recommend a good supplement/hornbook for a policy oriented property course?

Try seeing the prof's older exams to see whether he his policy orientation is really that important.

This. My professor (who co-authored our textbook, also policy-heavy, though not Dukeminier-style) focused a lot on policy during lectures, told us it was on the exam, and then failed to put one even tangentally-related policy question on the final.

These responses are credited. My professor was all policy, all the time, but tested black letter and application. I threw in a lot of policy for good measure, but I know one student that got the highest grade in the class that I'm almost certain did not use policy the way I did.

That's what's biting at me. So tempted to look at my Crim prof's and K prof's exams as both keep stressing what sounds to me like policy. I'm 80% sure the crim prof's going to bust out at least 1/2 BLL and I'm told the k prof tends to mix/match.

just know policy and bll. that way, whatever comes up, you will be ready. Don't try and game anything -- just learn everything. Start by reading your prof's LR articles, and then the articles that influenced those articles. Ask your profs what, if any, supps they recommend. 1L is all about taking in as much material as possible, synthesizing it all, and spitting it out as appropriate on the exam. It's easy. Now go.

Legal rules are nothing but policy writ specific. Never forget that.
