Table of ContentsReviews'For several years now John Orth has been writing a series of essays that have brought various old property doctrines to life. He has now collected these essays and added to them in this wonderful new book. In his hands the Rule in Shelley's Case, easements, and escheat come to life. Orth adds to these old chestnuts his insights on what forces have driven property law's development. Throughout all of the chapters Orth displays his characteristic wit, modesty, and immensely readable style.' Gregory S. Alexander, Cornell Law School, USA 'Reappraisals is a brilliantly playful examination of property doctrines that in less skillful hands might seem arcane. Leases, covenants, joint tenancies, and a dozen other property concepts have never been so much fun.' James Lindgren, Northwestern University, USA 'The author touches upon some fascinating questions on the role of property and how our concept of property is constructed... Orth's Reappraisals in the Law of Property achieves the distinction of providing a springboard for a host of debates and discussions about the nature of law in society, which must surely be the primary aim of any writer.' Cambrian Law Review 'Reappraisals in the Law of Property is well crafted and written... It addresses the real guts of property law as examined by academic law professors. Orth does a good job making the problems real, showing how practicing lawyers face the reality of these problems.'
