First Year: Property Law D

This course introduces students to the concepts lawyers use in dealing with competing interests in land, chattels and other forms of wealth. Property is a highly conceptual aspect of the law. The main purpose of this course is to get students comfortable with understanding property as a legal construct, and the consequences flowing from these constructs. The doctrine of estates in land, takings, concurrent ownership, landlord-tenant relations, equity, future interests, covenants, easements, licenses, adverse possession, and Aboriginal title are among the topics that may be covered.  No laptops are permitted in class. Students are encouraged to take notes using pen and paper.
