Basic Mortgage Law

Book excerpt: Revised and updated to 2006, the second edition of Basic Mortgage Law continues to be comparatively brief, straightforward, and traditional. This is a doctrinal casebook that can serve as a basic foundation for a 2- or 3-hour mortgage law course. Hill and Brown have deliberately chosen cases which contain generally accepted rules that have been correctly applied in order to give students a clearer understanding of a complex area of law. These include a number of older cases that are better written, more thoroughly reasoned, and are as relevant today as when handed down. Accompanying notes and questions are carefully designed to pique the interest of the students and encourage them to look at secondary sources to expand their knowledge.
