The Law of Succession

Danaya C. Wright · 2013
76/100
👍 Worth It

Danaya Wright's planning-first casebook is a genuine structural innovation in law school pedagogy — organizing the material around estate planning tools before moving to litigation context, with case squibs digestible enough for students. For a wills, trusts, and estates course it delivers solid professional infrastructure; outside legal education it has essentially no audience.
