Product Description
Examples & Explanations: Remedies will be a new student favorite with its tried-and-true E&E format. This problem-oriented guide is designed and organized to complement any major remedies casebook and build student comprehension in a carefully constructed, step-by-step approach. It explains remedies policies and rules, and uses examples to show how lawyers and judges apply the rules to formulate concrete solutions to disputes. Offering a logical and guided format, this valuable supplemental source for your students: - covers the areas included in most remedies courses, including damages, injunctions, and restitution, as well as other important topics such as declaratory judgments, punitive damages, and remedial defenses
- builds student understanding step-by-step, moving from the basics to the more complex and allowing students to apply the law to particular fact patterns
- allows students to study chapters in any order
- demystifies the language of remedies using straightforward and student-friendly examples, charts, and illustrations
- shows students how to "do the math" related to issues such as computing compensatory damages, present value, and constructive trusts
- offers compatibility with all major remedies books, including those that approach remedies through public law and those that approach it through private law
- remains the only book in the field to provide both black letter law and examples and answers to build student knowledge; the level of complexity builds as examples continue in each chapter
- discusses major remedies cases (Hadley v. Baxendale; State Farm v. Campbell; Sullivan v. O'Connor), provides detailed coverage of the draft Restatement (Third) of Restitution, and gives detailed analyses of remedies issues under Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code

 Great problem book for finals prep May 3, 2008
Mara Hsiung (USA)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The Examples and Explanations series is, in my opinion, a little less helpful than the Siegel's series as the problems in this book are all pretty short and not quite like the long issue-spotters one ordinarily gets on final exams in law school. The upside of these books, however, is that they have summaries of the concepts you should know as well as problems with explanations for every topic. This means that if you don't quite understand one of the concepts you've been taught (tracing via constructive trusts, for example), you can use this book to supplement your lecture notes. I found the book very helpful in studying for my Remedies exam.
It's worth noting that every law school class will cover different topics in different ways, so this book may not cover some of the topics in as much detail as your professor did. I've found that this is always the case with commercial supplements; you just have to understand that your class won't always be exactly like the book, and learn not to panic when you can't answer a question on a subject your prof barely touched on. At the same time, every Remedies class should cover the basics (contract damages, tort damages, injunctions/specific relief, and restitution), all of which were covered in this book.
Good Study Aid for Remedies December 17, 2007

I teach Remedies. I used to be a fan of Gilbert's law summaries. Now I'm a fan of Examples and Explanations.
Gilbert's has gotten too long, too complex, and does too little summarizing.
No study aid is a substitute for the classroom. However, E & E can help pave the way to better understanding.
Good study aid but index needs a lot of work April 10, 2009

I like the E&E content but you can't find much using the index. It's only about 2 1/2 pages long for a 400+ page book. The problem with this is that it slows down the study process when you are searching all over the book for a particular topic. Good book overall. Would have been 5 stars of it wasn't for the index.
 Not bad for general knowledge April 30, 2008

This book had a good discussion on major topics, but to look up concepts in the index was sometimes difficult
