implies, Essentials covers only the core legal doctrines and does so in a concise, straightforward format that focuses on application rather than theory. The organizational structure of each chapter facilitates student learning by providing:a clear explanation of the doctrine in plain Englishan excerpt of relevant statutory authority where applicablean illustration of the doctrine through a carefully-selected judicial opinion, andan application of the doctrine in a problem set.Each judicial opinion is followed by a series of questions, as well as narrative answers to each question. The problem sets, which are heavily emphasized, simulate the practice of law in a realistic Trusts & Estates setting. Essentials is adaptable for two, three, and four credit versions of the Trusts & Estates survey course.
