The law of judicial remedies concerns itself with the nature and scope of the relief to be given a plaintiff once he has followed appropriate procedure in court and has established a substantive right. The law of remedies is thus sharply distinguished from the law of substance and procedure.
Judicial remedies usually fall in one of the three major categories: (1) damages; (2) restitutionary remedies; and (3) coercive remedies. This course will touch on all these to some degree.
