Land Law Summary

Land Law by Chris Bevan (Associate Professor in Property Law, Associate Professor in Property Law, Durham University)

Academically rigorous yet welcoming and fully attuned to the needs of the student reader, Chris Bevan's Land Law represents a new breed of textbook, blending traditional and contemporary teaching approaches to guide readers to a confident understanding of the subject. With its lively, engaging writing style - in which the author's enthusiasm is always apparent - and distinctive way of speaking directly to students, anticipating their questions and areas of confusion, Bevan's book does not simply set out the law but actively teaches it. Clear explanations are complemented by carefully-crafted visual aids, conveying key concepts in ways that all students can understand, and topics are broken down into sections that are easy to digest. This book maintains a critical emphasis and encourages students to consider and understand the law in context (both within society and their degree). 'Key case' boxes offer concise insights on leading cases that pique students' interest, spurring them to conduct their own reading of primary material, and although the book reflects on historical background in order to make sense of today's law, its overriding perspective is forward-looking, epitomized in the 'Future directions' conclusions for each chapter which consider future implications and likely reforms. Balancing brevity with detail and rigour with accessibility, Land Law is a truly modern textbook that supports and motivates its readers, allowing them to reap the rewards an understanding of this complex but fascinating subject will bring.

Land Law Reviews

I am yet to find another textbook which so easily conveys land law concepts in a way that reaches students who need support and students who are excelling. * Charlie Seager, Lecturer, University of Salford *
A really great book, and loved by students. The author has produced a truly accessible and exciting work out of what is often regarded to be one of the most difficult subjects of every student's law degree. * Kieran Lee Marshall, Assistant Professor, University of Reading *
This is one of the best land law textbooks I have worked with; it is well written, organised and accessible, and the online resources are very useful to students and staff alike. * Dr Laura Lo Coco, Senior Lecturer, University of Hertfordshire *
We've been waiting for a book like Bevan's for a while. It combines all the elements of one's favourite land law texts; students will find that the questions that occur to them as they read are addressed very well. * Dr Michael John Hopkins, Senior Lecturer, Oxford Brookes University *
