Hot off the presses with a 2024 cover date:

Examples & Explanations for Remedies, Fifth Edition

The Fifth Edition of Examples& Explanations: Remedies provides a bridge between law school and the real world.

A favorite classroom prep tool of successful students that is often recommended by professors, the Examples& Explanations (E&E) series provides an alternative perspective to help you understand your casebook and in-class lectures. Each E&E offers hypothetical questions complemented by detailed explanations that allow you to test your knowledge of the topics in your courses and compare your own analysis.

New to the Fifth Edition:

• Integration of recent Restatement Third, Torts: Remedies sections on compensatory damages and injunctions
• New critiques of the theory of efficient breach in contract
• Incorporation of recent Supreme Court authority on contempt, including the mental state required for civil contempt proceedings
• New analysis of the ability to obtain punitive damages for suits in equity and restitution
• Consideration of new Supreme Court statements about ripeness standards for declaratory judgments
• Discussion of garnishment orders regarding new methods of payment, such as Venmo or Paypal

Professors and students will benefit from:

• Updated materials on wrongful death, survival, and loss of consortium claims
• Expanded material on reasonable certainty, mitigation, offsetting benefits, and collateral sources in damages
• Updated discussion of ripeness and mootness issues, and the scope of injunctions
• The integration of the new Restatement and its impact on the field of Remedies
• Extensive practice questions on institutional reform litigation/structural injunctions
