Practical and current, Real Estate Lore is fully grounded in the practice of law, with citations and analysis of over 300 relevant cases, many of them decided in the last few years.
It includes the author`sinsights into many hot topics, including the KeIo decision, the Trump World Tower case as a precedent for deposit forfeitures, the USA Patriot Act, and the effect on shopping centers of the 2005
Bankruptcy Code Amendments. Among the broad topics covered are:
* Mortgages and their enforcement
