Ames, Chafee, and Re on Remedies, Cases and Materials (University Casebook Series)

This casebook explores the law of remedies, and several features distinguish it from other leading casebooks. This book treats equity as a vital part of modern law, and its coverage of restitution is extensive and clearly organized. The book also employs the pedagogically useful technique of illustrating many remedial principles in both a tort context and a contract context. In this edition, there are new “Analysis” notes guiding students through the main points of most of the cases. Many other notes are refined and some cases are updated, and the chapters on punitive damages and the declaratory judgment are systematically revised. The book is named for three of the previous editors: James Barr Ames, Zechariah Chafee, Jr., and Edward D. Re.
