The second edition contains the following improvements: more detailed coverage of legal issues, reworked problems, additional overviews at the beginning of each chapter and, cumulative problems at the end of each chapter. The book continues to be divided into two major sections. The early chapters give students a firm grounding in equity and equitable remedies, contempt, and the competing remedial options, and the latter sections are designed to give students a better understanding of the remedial consequences of litigating a case on one theory rather than another.
