A great book overall
This outline was tailored to the Dukeminier Property Casebook, our class casebook, so it was a real great help. The language is simple, the rules laid out, and the examples that follow are also good. The author did an excellent job at explaining seemingly contrary cases, and sometimes even gave his own take on an issue. However, the way the book was organized was a bit confusing at times. Because every topic was divided into sections and subsections, and then into more subsections, I frequently got lost and had to flip pages back and forth, trying to figure out exactly where I was. This book would have been a lot better if it had a table-of-contents type chart from all the headings so you had a picture in your mind of where you are and where you are going. Otherwise your only option is to re-write the headings into your notes -- only then can you see the "big picture". Another problem with this book (and I guess it applies to all Emanuel outlines) is that its lacking in practice questions. There are a few, but nothing like Examples and Explanations. So if you really want to master the subject, you have to get both books. Examples and Explanations is a great book too, but it isn't organized as clearly and concisely, it's style is more fluid, like reading a book with paragraphs. So both books are lacking in some respects as compared to the other.

good, but Gilbert's may be better
This is good to accompany the 6th edition Property text. Gilbert's may be better, giving a different perspective to an idea.
