The Second Edition presents a full discussion of the ALI's recently adopted Restatement (Third) of Property (Servitudes), aimed at bringing uniformity and clarity to servitudes law. As it is typically among the most difficult material in first-year property, this is a dramatic departure in the approach to servitudes law. Revised coverage of the loan transaction better explains the mortgage crisis within the context of basic mortgage law. The Second Edition includes coverage of several states' adopting statutes to limit local cities and towns' takings power for purposes of redevelopment.
