Remedies

Catalog description

This course is an examination of the alternative means for obtaining redress through the courts. Equitable and legal remedies are studied and compared, including restitution, specific performance, injunctive relief, equitable liens, constructive trusts, and damages. The course draws upon and pulls together matters considered in diverse courses such as Torts, Contracts, Property Law, Procedure and Creditors' Rights which coalesce in real life and which the student may not have had an opportunity to consider together. The strategy and tactics of choice of remedies are explored, as well as out-of-court negotiations and settlement techniques. This course also requires students to prepare several drafting assignments.
