Remedies: Cases and Materials provides a comprehensive and nuanced exploration of the law of remedies, distinguishing itself from other leading casebooks through its structure, breadth, and pedagogical approach. The book takes seriously the central role of equity in modern American law and integrates it fully into its coverage. It also offers an unusually thorough and well-organized treatment of restitution, making complex doctrines accessible and coherent for students.

A hallmark of this casebook is its consistent effort to illustrate key remedial principles across multiple substantive areas of law. Doctrines are frequently presented in both tort and contract contexts, allowing students to understand how remedies function across different legal frameworks and to develop a more integrated and transferable understanding of remedial law.

This edition introduces several enhancements aimed at improving clarity and deepening student engagement. New "Analysis" notes accompany many principal cases, offering guided explanations to help students identify and understand each case’s key takeaways. Numerous notes throughout the text have been updated and refined for greater precision and pedagogical value. The chapters on punitive damages and declaratory judgments have undergone systematic revision to reflect contemporary developments and to provide clearer, more structured coverage.

Named in honor of three influential editors—James Barr Ames, Zechariah Chafee, Jr., and Edward D. Re—this casebook builds on a long tradition of excellence while continuing to evolve to meet the needs of today’s law students. It is ideally suited for courses that aim to develop a deep understanding of the theory and practice of remedies, combining historical insight with modern application.
