Newly Supplemented: Real Estate Transactions System

Real Estate Transactions System provides a system for collecting and organizing client information so that real estate dealings can be completed with efficiency. The system uses a Master Information List (MIL) that divides a real estate transaction into a seven-step process and tracks each step to ensure effectiveness. The book is designed to be used in conjunction with the standard real estate forms currently in use in Wisconsin, and provides numerous sample clauses for contingencies, warranties and representations, and other provisions.

The System book is your one source for complete information on the spectrum of residential real estate transactions, including:

• Residential and commercial structures

• Vacant land

• Condominiums

• Land contracts

• Options to purchase

In addition, you’ll be ready to handle some of the more esoteric areas of real property law, such as marital property and environmental concerns.

Real Estate Transactions System is now available in print and via Books UnBound®, PINNACLE’s digital library. Visit WisBar’s Marketplace for more information.

Newly Supplemented: Family Law Casenotes and Quotes

Compiling family law cases published since the Divorce Reform Act of 1977 (and noteworthy, citable unpublished opinions issued after July 1, 2009), Family Law Casenotes and Quotes tackles the many issues that commonly come up in family law cases.

Each entry provides:

• The case’s name and full citation, including subsequent history

• The name of the trial court judge and the county in which the case was heard

• The name of the appellate judge who wrote the decision

• A concise statement of the case’s relevant facts, including procedural aspects

• The case’s important quotations and pinpoint citations for those quotations

• Bolded subject terms highlighting each case’s most important topics

Family Law Casenotes and Quotes provides relevant information that’s easy to find. Not only does the book arrange the cases in the order in which they appear in the official Wisconsin case reporter volumes, but the index also alphabetizes the key subject terms that identify each case’s major topics. These major topics are then broken into subheadings, allowing you to pinpoint the information you need.
