Registration Notes
This course is restricted to only Evening students during priority registration, then open to all students during general registration. Students who plan to enroll in the integrated transactional program next year should not take trust in Estates in the spring of 2026. Textbook note: For both my PR and T&E class, two items are marked as required. However, both involve the same text: the only difference in the both cases is that students have the option to add to the required text an Explanations and Examples book for an additional $5 if they buy the casebook. The bookstore will mark "recommended" on the E+E Bundle.
