Integrating complex hypothetical problems with related cases, the law casebook is organized by the major groups of remedies: injunctions & specific performance, damages, and restitution. The text mixes recent and classic cases and seeks to provide broad and balanced coverage of the field, including treatment of certain areas that may be neglected in other texts, such as contempt. The cases have been selected to highlight troublesome issues rather than to illustrate well-established principles, which are instead discussed in explanatory text at the beginning of every section.
