First Year: Property Law C
Description
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.
Evaluation
Each student will complete four writing assignments of 1500-1750 words in length. After at least two of the assignment due dates, each student will be invited to a one-on-one interview with the instructor lasting no more than fifteen minutes. The course Instructor will ask the student to speak to the details of their written submission. The purpose of the interview will be to assess the student’s knowledge of their own written work. The Instructor may inquire about why particular cases were utilized in the written work, or why some cases were not discussed. The Instructor may ask about the themes of the class but will focus on topics relating to the student’s written submission. Grading will be based solely on written work (90%) and class participation (10%).
