One of the worst professors I have ever had. Learned nothing about property. Be prepared for a class focused entirely on how women, minorities and homosexuals have been shunned by property law. This might have been interesting had she actually incorporated property law into the lectures. Gives minimum amount of As. BEWARE.

Want to learn a very common and generally-accepted perspective on sociology? Take Property with JW. Want to learn the law of property? Take Property with anyone else. She compiles her own book, which makes perfect sense because there are no property textbooks available, anywhere. Unfortunately, her textbook is god awful.

Too much emphasis on theory and public policy. Overall, she is a pretty good professor, but plan on finding the rule of law yourself.
PROPREAL
Nice enough as a professor but class was lacking. Class was all over the place and I didn't really learn that much. Take home final made things easy but you need to get every line on the check-sheet to do well.

Love her! She cared that we were learning and went out of her way to provide supplementary materials and to make herself available outside of class. Though she is brilliant and famous enough to totally phone it in, she didn't. She's my favorite Hastings professor, hands-down. I think I would have hated property with someone else.
PROPSECT
My least favorite law school class by far. Prof. Williams is nice and approachable, but here lectures were unclear, and there were some complete sections of material she didn't seem to understand very well. She might be great for Fem Theory, but for Property she was horrid.
