Would you recommend it?

It was ok, but I would recommend instead Understanding Property.

Personally, I thought the Property Crunchtime was pretty phenomenal.

No, it's just a supplement. But, it's not in a Q&A format, if that's what you're after.

Agree 100%.

I liked it. It has a ton of estate/interest questions, which helped me a lot in that area.

Should I buy the 2004 edition for $8 or the 2008 edition for $23?

Buy the older one, property law is from the 1200s (some of it anyways)

I am currently taking a crash course in property from it. Exam on Saturday. I'd say it covers the basics well and has good estates problems.

Now, if I had missed classes and not done reading, it wouldn't help (whereas I think I could have read the Torts E&E and nothing else and felt comfortable) as much. So, just know you'll use it as a study aid not a direct learning tool.

So its safe to say there hasn't been any changes in property since 2004?

I don't think we read one case newer than 1970.

Sweet, Im going to buy the oldest Understanding Property book then since everyone speaks so highly of it.

Just found the 2004 edition for $4 including shipping!

I concur with everyone who said Understanding Property is the way to go. And most everything in property is pretty old. Takings clause is one area where there has been more recent developments (i.e. The Kelo case which happened in 2005). But that depends on whether your class will cover takings or not.

I bought the Understanding Property too!

Whatever you do, don't get glannon guide. It is HORRIBLE. Lots of gaps from what they teach you and the questions they ask in that they quiz you using concepts absent in that section of the book. Can't believe I spent the time reading this

Yeah, I've heard that, so I went with the Property E&E. I guess it's in keeping with the general rule that the best of the Glannon Guide series is the CivPro one, actually written by Glannon. It's helpful especially if your CivPro exam has multiple choice.

It was the only supplement I used for property and I made an A.

I liked it, but it might not work for everyone.
