Modern American Remedies: Cases and Materials, Concise is highly respected for its original and logical conceptual framework, comprehensive coverage, excellent case selection, and authoritative and well-written notes. Following the same organization, the scope of coverage, and daily units as the unabridged Fifth Edition, the streamlined Concise Edition features tightly focused notes that emphasize basic principles and central points, with fewer collateral issues. The text achieves a balance of public and private law, and teaches and critiques the basics of economic analysis as applied to remedies issues.
