Stake’s & Ryan's Trusts and Estates (3d Ed.) is designed to be a teacher-friendly casebook for a basic course in trusts and estates. What is teacher friendly about it?

First, the book is not a hornbook or treatise and does not require the teacher to remember a lot of note material that is unimportant to teaching basic principles. It also includes portions of the UPC in the book rather than requiring another book for statutory materials, which is student-friendly as well.
Second, it raises policy questions that students find interesting because the questions engage them as if they will be in a position to influence their state’s law on trusts and estates. Concerning social policy, this casebook does not assume that the goal of following the decedent's intent overrides other fairness concerns or efficiency.
Third, it presents examples and problems that can be used to dig into the rules or can be ignored as the teacher sees fit.
Fourth, the cases are interesting as stories of what can go wrong in families and what can go wrong in trust and estate practice. Stake's book can be covered in a 3-hour course or, by closer analysis of cases and problems, expanded to fill a 4-hour course.
