Understanding Remedies

This comprehensive Understanding treatise provides an introduction to the basic legal rules and principles that constitute the law of remedies as applied by United States courts. The Second Edition of Understanding Remedies represents a major reworking of the original work. The chapters have been reorganized so that the materials follow the customary approach of teaching remedies:

(1) General principles applicable to damages, injunctions, and restitution;

(2) Remedy defenses;

(3) Applications, e.g., bodily injury remedies, breach of contract remedies;

(4) Special problems, e.g., punitive damages, attorneys' fees.

The materials are comprehensive and respect the nuance and subtlety of the subject. Understanding Remedies presents the richness of the topic to students who wish to gain both a fundamental appreciation of the subject and an insight into the myriad ways remedies influence the shape and dimension of modern American law.
