A Word About Easements and Licenses

I am aware that we went through this material fairly quickly.

My goal was not to go into great depth about the details of all the rules and doctrines, but rather to expose you to the basic types of easements and the legal vocabulary. I also wanted to use the cases to show you how easement issues can arise because of inattention and sloppiness when land deals are put together.

I think we accomplished those goals, and the Hornbook ought to provide some extra coverage of the basic rules and doctrines.

On to a discussion of covenants running with the land, a subject I approach from the perspective of liberty.
