The fifth edition of Property: Cases and Materials by Jim Smith, Ed Larson, and new author Alejandro Camacho brings current topics and recent cases including the Public Trust Doctrine and Race and the Law to the basic property course without sacrificing coverage of established material.
Property: Cases and Materials features sweeping coverage in a single volume, from "old property," including the basics of estates in land and servitudes to "new property," including intellectual property, cultural property, and property in living things. The text provokes debate on fundamental questions such as the creation of property, information as property, collective v. individual rights, and property as related to other bodies of law. Its coverage of intellectual property shows how the law grows and responds to social and technological change
Principal cases include Marshall v. ESPN Inc. (student athletes' publicity rights), Bonnichsen v. United States (Native American human remains), Glass v. Goeckel (public trust doctrine), Friends of Danny DeVito v. Wolf (COVID-19 takings dispute), and Dred Scott v. Sandford.
