1. Find a case to discuss with the class on property rights.

I will start with this case:Johnson & Graham's Lessee v. M'Intosh, 211 US 543 (1823).

There is a case out there on a haunted house, an old one about dead chickens and military aircraft, and a lot of other interesting things.

2. A potential client, Jim, comes to your office and says he wants to sell his house in your state. A surveyor came to survey the property and discovered that the neighbor's driveway actually is 10 feet over the property line onto Jim's property. Jim moved into this house in 1998 and his neighbor was already there when he moved in.

- What might you tell him about this legal predicament?

- If your office accepts Jim as a client to address this problem, what kind of additional information would you want to know? What could you do, as a paralegal working in your state, to help acquire such information?

- Do you think that Jim will be to sell his house? If so, what kind of legal solutions might be needed, if any?
