This is a course on civil judicial remedies. Our focus will be on the law of damages, and we will not discuss equitable remedies in any detail. Financial relief is the most frequently-sought form of civil judicial remedy by far, and the principles governing the assessment of damages are of central importance to all areas of private law. These principles are often not well understood, however, and they can be challenging to apply correctly. This course is designed to prepare you to be able to craft careful, principled arguments on the issue that is often the only one that matters to the client, namely, how much money is at stake in the case. Cross listed with LAW 803.
