The Musical Side of the Rule Against Perpetuities

Prof. Darryl C. Wilson (Stetson University College of Law) has recently published his article entitled Waltzing to R.A.P., 39 Creighton L. Rev. 129 (2005).  In the author’s words, “this Article takes a very brief look at the common law real property rule and hopefully demystifies its meaning, simplifies its application, and verifies the sour notes that students have been singing about it are really a bum rap.”

Given the limited amount time we have to cover RAP in most Property and T&E courses, Prof. Wilson’s discussion of his teaching approach is both interesting and helpful.
