PROPERTY
The law of property is an important component of a number of different legal fields. Lawyers draw on property concepts, for example, in drafting wills, planning and executing real estate and other commercial transactions, negotiating leases (and resolving subsequent disputes), complying with environmental laws, and representing clients in family law matters. Intellectual property (which deals with matters such as patents, copyrights, and trademarks) is likewise an increasingly prominent legal specialty. This Guide contains specific recommendations for students interested in specializing in Commercial and Real Estate Law, Estates and Trusts, Environmental Law, and Intellectual Property.

Includes drafting documents as real estate contracts, leases, loan closings, conveyances through estates, protected persons, businesses entities, etc. Course designed with the new practitioner in mind. Open only to third-year students.
Real Property Security (Law 679). 2 or 3 hours. Students in this course study real property security transactions, including mortgages and similar land financing transactions, as well as the various types of liens on real property.
