Description

This course is an introduction to the law of remedies. Priority is given to damages, injunctions, and declaratory judgments, and these three kinds of remedies are considered in both ordinary civil litigation and institutional civil rights litigation. The course also briefly introduces the concepts of restitution, punitive damages, contempt, and attorneys' fees. The course is practically significant-good litigators need to know how and when to seek each remedy. But the law of remedies is more than tactics. It implicates the core organizing principles of a legal system, such as access to justice, the role of courts, and the interrelationship of rights and remedies.
