It examines law and economics in selecting between tort and contract remedies. Remedies Ninth teaches the substance and remedies of unjust enrichment law with provocative cases and discussion of the Restatement (Third) of Restitution and Unjust Enrichment (A.L.I. 2011).

MercExchange on injunctions, unconscionability in a contract to arbitrate, contractual limitations on recovery of damages, restitutionary disgorgement remedies for opportunistic breach of contract, and remedies for harm to pets.
