State and Local Government in a Federal System: Cases and Materials

Lexis Law Pub.

Concise Introduction to Property Law is first and foremost a casebook, designed to expose first year law students to the rich heritage of American Property Law through the study of court decisions. Instructors will find many of the familiar cases used in most Property textbooks, as well as many new ones. The notes in all chapters not only point out legal developments and additional cases, but also include substantial detail on the historical and social context in which the principal cases arose. The notes also provide a glimpse into the lives of the parties to the cases, some of whom are famous and many of whom are not. The book also has a definite inter-state comparative law perspective. This is primarily manifested by special attention to cases arising in the state of Hawaii, the one American jurisdiction whose property history departs from the national experience in dramatic ways.

This casebook surveys the law of both personal and real property from the perspective of public and private rights and restrictions on things and land. After establishing a framework within which to define property, the text covers not only traditional topics like conveyancing, estates and future interests, leaseholds and inherent and public limitations on use, but also the applicability of such limitations in modern contexts such as intellectual property, housing discrimination, public lands and environmental protection, with brief nods to emerging areas like hydraulic fracturing and GMO regulation.

Property Law and the Public Interest: Cases and Materials

The ninth edition of State and Local Government in a Federal System continues the tradition of comprehensive coverage, providing teachers with choices that are suitable to either two- or three-unit courses with emphasis on local or state government. Two new co-authors have been added. Chapter 2 (on state and local government powers) has been refreshed with a new overarching problem relating to short term rental and now addresses proposed changes in home rule provisions and state preemption practices proposed by the National League of Cities in 2020. Chapter 4 (on public finance) has been completely revised to update coverage concerning sources and strategies affecting government funding, borrowing, expenditures, federal oversight, and financially distressed municipalities in recent years. 
All other aspects of the book have been thoroughly updated, including those relating to regional government, government employees, public education (funding and charter schools), federalism, the role of the state governors and legislatures, and more. This edition is particularly timely in that it integrates coverage of emerging legal issues relating to the COVID pandemic and devotes increased attention to social justice issues including possible implications for government liability.

The Eighth Edition of State and Local Government in a Federal System continues the tradition of comprehensive coverage, providing teachers with choices that are suitable to either two- or three-unit courses with emphasis on local or state government. The book has two principal objectives. First, it focuses on government powers: where they come from, how they operate, and how disputes about such powers are resolved. Second, it addresses the participants in the governance process: who they are, and how they play their roles as entities and individuals. Each chapter includes one or more “problems” to illustrate the application of key principles. 
This Eighth Edition of the casebook reflects insights from two new co authors. Kenneth Bond has 40 years of practice experience as bond counsel and underwriters' counsel. Professor Chris Tyson has a background in land use planning and municipal law and has also contributed to this revision particularly in the areas of government power and public employees. Former Chapters 1 and 2 have been consolidated in order to present all preliminary topics in one place (background on local governments and constitutional principles along with more tightly presented material on incorporation and annexation). Chapter 4 on public finance has been completed reorganized and re-written. Chapter 6's coverage of state tort law has been revised and clarified, and Chapter 9's coverage of voting rights and education has been reorganized and tightened. All other materials have been carefully updated as well. This Edition also incorporates a number of new problems with a contemporary focus to enhance discussion. The comprehensive Teacher's Manual (available only to professors) has also been updated and includes discussion of principal cases as well as answers to problems and questions posed in Notes. In addition, faculty will find up to date support (including problems, cases, and more) available on the website maintained by co author, Judith Wegner.
The Coursebook Support Community Website for State and Local Government in a Federal System is being maintained by one of the book authors, Professor Judith Wegner (judith_wegner@unc.edu) and will be updated on a continuing basis to provide updated information including new cases and statutes, links to charters, and other research sources, problems, and presentations useful to those teaching in this field. 
This book also is available in a heavily discounted, three hole punched, alternative loose leaf version printed on 8 ½ x 11 inch paper with wider margins and with the same pagination as the hardbound book.

The Ninth Edition of Planning and Control of Land Development continues its tradition of providing a thorough and comprehensive review of land use law. All chapters have been revised and updated; this edition covers recent takings cases, the Supreme Court's important new decision on the federal Fair Housing Act, and the Court's new free speech decision on sign regulation. Special attention has been given to developments under the federal Religious Land Use Act. Teaching cases are the same as in the last edition with new cases as needed to update presentation of the materials. This casebook is different, and better than any other you have ever seen in two important ways. First, because sustainability is important in virtually every aspect of land use law, the authors have signaled sustainability issues throughout the book no separate chapter, no single-subject casebook, just the fully integrated treatment of this critical subject. Second, hundreds of URLs been added or updated and converted to tiny URLs for easy entry. So far as we know, for the first time ever in any casebook you will also find over 600 Quick Response (QR) Codes so that teachers and students using a free app on their smartphones need only point and click to be taken directly to the vast array of resources available on the worldwide web. This casebook has broken the bonds of the printed page.

Planning Reform in the New Century

Do urban growth boundaries actually manage growth? How can the chaotic common law of vested rights be tamed? How can we make the development review process fair? Should housing policies be taken out of the hands of local boards? Planning's leading thinkers tackled these questions and others in a December 2004 conference sponsored by the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies at the Washington University School of Law and the American Planning Association.This book is the record of their spirited debate. Planning has reached a turning point. Problems the profession has grappled with for years remain unsolved. Programs once heralded as panaceas are stumbling. Current legislation is inadequate for the demands of the new century. With tough criticisms and bold ideas, these planners, lawyers, and researchers offer their perspectives on the pitfalls and opportunities that await the profession. Their observations on statutory reform, affordable housing, growth management and the role of the comprehensive plan in land-use decisions are a blueprint for planning reform.
