It influences where and how we live, work, and recreate. Historically, almost all wealth was in the form of land and real property. Today, real estate continues to be the largest asset class in the world. The real estate market includes everything from residential properties (homes, apartments, condos) and real estate investment trusts (REITs) to commercial real estate (office buildings, hotels, golf courses, shopping centers) and conservation lands. The importance of real estate—for both the economy and society—was made readily apparent during the recent mortgage and financial crisis.</p> <p>Lawyers serve important roles in all aspects of real estate development, finance, investment, and transactions. Lawyers also play critical roles in drafting, interpreting, and reforming the legal rules and institutions that facilitate and regulate real estate markets and various uses of property, from federal statutes like the Fair Housing Act to local zoning ordinances. In doing so, lawyers can use their skills to promote the common good in a way that is conducive to the long-term growth and sustainability of our country and our communities. Because real estate affects our homes, our businesses and workplaces, our schools, playgrounds, and places of worship, the stakes are not only financial; real estate affects our ability to flourish as people.</p> <p>The Program of Study in Real Estate Law provides students with a comprehensive educational foundation to address various real estate issues in legal practice.

It considers which things may be treated as property, how property is acquired and transferred, the rights included with property ownership, and actions to enforce property rights like trespass and nuisance. Much of the course considers the ownership and use of land, covering such topics as the estates system, leases and land transfers, easements, covenants, and servitudes, zoning, eminent domain, and takings law.</p> <p><strong>Contracts</strong><br>This course presents a comprehensive study of the creation, transfer, and termination of contract rights and duties. Contract law is a critical component for understanding the transfer, division, and assembly of property interests in real estate.</p> <p><strong>Torts</strong><br>This course addresses the legal rules that determine whether civil liability attaches to conduct that results in harm to others. Several torts, including trespass and nuisance, serve as ways of protecting the use and possession of property. Tort law also serves as the basis for modern environmental law.</p> <h2> <a name="Advanced"></a>Advanced Courses</h2> <p><strong>Real Estate Transactions</strong><br>Introduces students to the major legal issues that arise in the sale and purchase of real estate and to the fundamentals of real estate transactions. The commercial or residential real estate transaction will be used as the foundation for understanding how all real estate transactions work, from the offering contract negotiations, through financing, to the closing. Also explores issues in commercial and residential real estate development from both practical and policy perspectives, and examines current trends and issues in real estate such as anti-sprawl legislation, neo-traditional planning and sustainable development, and government manipulation of the market demand for real estate.</p> <p><strong>Advanced Real Estate Transactions</strong><br>The course will focus on the application of fundamental real estate legal and practical business principles to structuring complex real estate transactions, including an overview of the economic and tax issues that drive the structure of real estate deals. The main topics will span the life cycle of real estate investment from acquisition to disposition, and will focus on topics related to finance, choice of entity and governance, tax aspects, and property management.</p> <p><strong>Commercial Real Estate Finance</strong><br>Students in the course analyze cases, problems and legal forms related to the finance and development of large commercial real estate projects. About one-third of the course is devoted to the transactions that make up the typical construction and post-construction financing package for the development of a shopping center or office building. The first few weeks focus on the stages of the lending process and the terms, conditions and legal doctrines related to the issuance of permanent financing upon the project’s completion. The next weeks concentrate on the terms of the permanent mortgage and note as anticipated by the postconstruction loan commitment signed by the permanent lender and the project developer. In the following weeks, students examine the construction loan documents and any agreement that reconciled those documents with the arrangement between the permanent lender and the developer. Focuses on the operation of finished commercial real estate projects and the business and legal reasons for aggressive leveraging in commercial real estate development. Students look at the form of the project ownership entity, various aspects of leasing to commercial tenants, as well as commercial foreclosure, workout and bankruptcy issues. The course begins its conclusion by studying the economic and tax law factors that lead real estate developers to be ever-more aggressive in leveraging their equity interest in the project. Concentrates on secondary financing mechanisms with a special emphasis on the financing of the acquisition of raw land through subordinated purchase-money mortgages or ground leases. The last weeks are available for exploration of real estate securitization vehicles such as CMBS, REITs and REMICs as well as special topics including the commercial development and financing of residential properties.</p> <p><strong>Deals</strong><br>The Deals course focuses on the legal and economic structuring of corporate and business transactions.  This innovative course combines a strong practical dimension and a rigorous academic approach to provide insights concerning the interaction of legal and market dynamics in transactional settings.  Particular emphasis is placed on the economic factors underlying the judgment calls that lawyers make and the technical means available for negotiating and implementing deals successfully.  The Deals course emphasizes how lawyers can successfully navigate legal challenges and regulatory requirements to achieve beneficial outcomes for their clients.</p> <p>Each week the Deals course considers a different real world transaction.  The particular transactions selected provide students a range of subject matter to highlight a common set of problems that arise in all settings.  The transactions are chosen on a year-to-year basis, but typically include a joint venture agreement, a private equity investment document, a real estate transaction term sheet, a leasing agreement, an IPO prospectus and related offering documents, a merger agreement, and a cross-border joint venture, together with related and alternative financing documents and structures.  With each transaction students are introduced to the economic fundamentals underlying the deal, consider documents and contractual terms likely to be used, assess ways the deal structure might be improved, and canvass plausible alternative options.  Students also gain insights into the negotiation process that provides the foundation for the structuring of deals.  </p> <p><strong>Environmental Law and Development</strong><br>This course will explore how environmental interests are balanced in the context of economic development, with a specific focus on the redevelopment of former industrial sites (“Brownfields”). We will engage in an overview of environmental laws that may impact development including the Endangered Species Act, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and CERCLA. We will then undertake a case study of a local brownfield project—the former Studebaker Corporation automotive factory site in downtown South Bend—to explore various legal facets of brownfield redevelopment including environmental counseling, transactional law and litigation. The course will also provide the opportunity for students to develop practical legal skills and strategies in the environmental context including reading and interpreting environmental reports, drafting pleadings and conducting fact and expert discovery. Lastly we will consider the impact of environmental justice, smart growth and sustainability considerations on current and future development efforts.</p> <p><strong>Land Use Planning</strong><br>This course examines the land development process. It explores the various legal tools used to regulate land uses – nuisance, covenants, zoning, subdivision controls, growth management tools, historic preservation regulations, etc. – as well as constitutional limits on land use regulation. Attention will be given to the comparative advantages of different regulatory devices, as well as to the legal, political, and economic factors that influence public and private decisions regarding land uses.</p> <p><strong>Directed Readings</strong><br>In addition, those students who wish to explore a particular topic related to real estate law in greater depth are encouraged to discuss with individual faculty members the possibility of conducting supervised directed readings within the faculty member’s area of expertise. Although the specific requirements for directed readings are at the discretion of the supervisor, students in directed readings generally are expected to produce a research paper on the chosen topic. Close interaction with faculty in this setting usually allows for inquiry into more complex and detailed materials than can be covered in the regularly offered courses.

The conference—made possible through the generosity of the Bank of America—brought together leading scholars from various disciplines (law, economics, finance, sociology, and psychology) along with regulators and representatives from various aspects of the housing industry (banking, affordable housing, homebuilders) to discuss the state of homeownership today and the financial and regulatory reforms needed to optimize the industry moving forward. While the discussion necessarily touched on the causes and consequences of the financial crisis, especially the collapse of the housing markets in the U.S., the primary focus of the conference was forward looking. Following a series of panels, participants emerged with new ideas about how to reshape the institution of homeownership for the long-term health and stability of the economy and all members of our society.</p> <ul> <li>Session One: “Homeownership—Promises, Perils, and Alternatives”</li> <li>Session Two: “Financial and Regulatory Aspects of Homeownership—Consumer Markets”</li> <li>Session Three: “Financial and Regulatory Aspects of Homeownership—Financial Markets”</li> <li>Session Four: “Addressing the Foreclosure Crisis”</li> </ul> <p><a href="/assets/280071/ronald_coase_poster.pdf"><strong>Ronald Coase (1910-2013) and The Future of Property Rights</strong></a><br><em>Law and Economics Symposium Featuring Henry Smith (Harvard) and Lee Anne Fennell (Chicago)</em><br><em>May 2014, 224 S.
