Corner Office: What Every Lawyer Should Know About the Economics of a Law Practice

Melchior S. Morrione

  • The Stranger to the Deed Rule
    In 1987, a unanimous Court of Appeals reaffirmed the vitality of the "stranger to the deed" rule, which holds that if a grantor executes a deed to a grantee purporting to create an easement in a third party, the easement is invalid.
