Property Class and Learning to Think Like a Lawyer [No. 86]

Is there a purpose to Property class beyond learning a bunch of boring rules? Professor Donald Kochan posits that the property course serves a much broader purpose. Students are learning how the law regulates property but they are also forced to consider multiple “right” answers because of the nature of the subject. Carefully examining an argument from both sides is a key skill for a successful lawyer.

Donald Kochan is Professor of Law at George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School and Deputy Executive Director of the Law and Economics Center.

As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.
