  This concise and user-friendly casebook provides students with the tools necessary to understand real estate transactions in a real-world market setting. Real Estate Transactions is accessible to students with no prior background in real estate or business and coverage includes many real property and contract law materials tested on the Bar Exam.  Multiple practice applications are included in every chapter to provide a bridge to “real world” law practice and preparation for assessments of lawyering skills (like the MPT).  It also features cases and materials that reveal ethical and professional responsibility issues that allow students to see professional ethics in a real-world context. This integrated approach to explaining the market and ethical constraints on transactional real estate lawyers includes clear and concise explanations on each topic.
