Remedies

2 units

After liability is established in civil litigation, a court will proceed to consider what relief to prescribe. This advanced procedure course examines doctrines and principles that courts apply when they make these choices. The general goal is to provide effective redress for plaintiffs without overly burdening defendants. The course will focus on remedies that are typically available in public law litigation, especially injunctions and declaratory judgments. Remedies that are more characteristic of private-law litigation, including damages and restitution, will receive less attention. Regular attendance and preparation will be expected, and sanctions may be imposed upon egregious offenders. The course grade will be based on a timed exam. 2 units.
