Overview

California Property Law for Legal Professionals is a well-organized, clearly-written, state-specific textbook for California paralegal students designed to simplify material while maximizing interest. Practical problem-solving exercises and hypotheticals are presented in a high-interest fashion to engage the reader. Four special features help the reader spot issues, identify rules of law, and master the law through practical application: Judge for a Day uses a paraphrased judicial opinion or fact pattern that does not reveal the holding of the case. Students are asked to predict the judge's ruling. The Client Comes Calling presents a challenge that a paralegal may encounter in the course of an ordinary day in a law firm. Sharpening the Saw: An Exercise in Issue Spotting trains paralegals to think like legal professionals and asks them to convey the crux of an issue in writing. Out of the Ivory Tower reminds students that clients use law firms to solve problems. Important ethical issues are discussed throughout the text. Students are encouraged (at the instructor's option) to draft assignments in IRAC form to better prepare them for the workplace and to make grading easier. Each chapter ends with a review of important terms, concepts, and definitions, along with chapter review questions. The broadened focus of the Second Edition makes it appropriate for business school real estate courses. New topics explored include the legal ramifications of utilizing consumer credit reports, data security breaches, enforcing storage unit agreements, electronic leasing, removing unauthorized vehicles from properties, real estate law as it relates to day care centers, the legal requirements concerning carbon monoxide detectors, the ethical ramifications of paying referral fees to non-licensed persons, and meth lab cleanup requirements.
