Stewart Sterk (H. Bert and Ruth Mack Professor of Law, Cardoza Law School)and Melanie B. Leslie (Professor of Law, Cardozo Law School) recently published the 2nd Edition of Trusts and Estates (Concepts and Insights Series, Foundation Press 2011). This new Concepts and Insights title makes complex doctrinal rules easier to understand by exploring the history and rationale behind those rules. The analysis is thorough, and focuses both on common law doctrines and statutory reforms with an emphasis on the Uniform Probate Code. Each substantive chapter closes with a set of exam-like problems designed to test understanding of the material included in the chapter. The authors also include thorough solutions to each of these problems. This is the only book in the field that combines thorough doctrinal analysis with more than 60 review problems, each with complete solutions.
