This casebook addresses changes that have occurred both in the law of property & in the law school curriculum. Its central premise is that the public & private law features of the law of property are so intertwined that the two can only be studied in conjunction. Consequently, the authors don't divide the materials into private & public law, as has been the norm. Instead, this new approach presents the law of property as a body of legal doctrine that is both public & private, & which has as its principal function the orderly transfer & use of natural & man-made resources.
