In Examples and Explanations: Remedies, Richard L. Hasen clearly and methodically explains the policies and rules of remedies, using examples to show how lawyers and judges apply the rules and formulate solutions in legal disputes.

Baxendale, Walker v. City of Birmingham, and Sullivan v. O Connor; - Analyses of remedies issues under Article 2 of the UCC and the common law. New to the Second Edition: - Detailed treatment of newly-added provisions of the draft Restatement of the Law Third, Restitution and Unjust Enrichment; - The eBay standard for permanent injunctions, and how it has been considered by lower courts and commentators; - Updates on statutes of limitations issues in light of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009; - Discussion of the recent Supreme Court Exxon Shipping and Phillip Morris cases on punitive damages.

Professor Hasen is an expert in the Remedies field and I highly recommend this book with any remedies class. This book is also extremely helpful if you need a Remedies treatise to supplement your bar exam studies. It covers all of the bar exam topics in a more simple, but better approach. The section on how to take a Remedies test alone made this book a great buy.
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.
My remedies class was incredibly esoteric and philosophical, but the exam was not. This remedies E&E was great in breaking down everything, explaining the black letter law as well as the different policy reasons behind the law. Examples were good, too.
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.
Made some of the more difficult remedies concepts much easier to comprehend (read: equitable subrogation and constructive trusts). I don't think I would have done nearly as well on my final had it not been for this book clearing up some of the muddiness that my professor brought to the class.
This was a great supplement for my class. It helped break down concepts and the examples gave me lots of practice. I thought this e and e was helpful in preparing for my final and I would definitely recommend it.
I have used E&E for just about every class in my law school career. I love the series and have really appreciated the application of the law to different hypos. This book is written in a easy to understand fashion and for the most part breaks down some complicated subjects into common language. All in all, it's a great book and it helped me study for my Remedies class.
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.
