Ames, Chafee, and Re on Remedies, Cases and Materials

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 is a more systematic presentation of equity, and there are new chapters on accounting for profits, constructive trust, equitable compensation, statutory damages, and declaratory judgments. The book is named for three of the previous editors: James Barr Ames, Zechariah Chafee, Jr., and Edward D. Re.
