Boston College Law School
This remedies course will focus on what courts do for civil litigants who have been or who fear a legal wrong. While most law school courses focus on liability, or what counts as a violation of the substantive law in some area, remedies is about what happens after the substantive law has been violated. The course will cover standard remedies including damages, injunctive relief, declaratory judgments, restitution, and punitive civil remedies, and will consider them in both private and public law settings. But it will also explore remedial goals, remedial mechanisms, and the theoretical questions surrounding the relationship between liability and remedy across diverse areas of law.
