Before Memmo my notes were scattered across PDFs. Now a workspace pulls everything into one place — I see exactly what's still left to study.
This book examines what is often a "bet-the-company" area of construction law. In the last two decades, the federal government and whistleblowers have prosecuted billions of dollars in claims brought under the False Claims Act, with a substantial number arising from construction projects. There are many ways that construction projects can fall under the False Claims Act, including making one or more false payment applications or filing a false statement which is just part of a request for compensation. The civil penalties are severe: statutory penalties plus treble the amount of damages sustained by the government because of the fraud.
False Claims in Construction Contracts, Second Edition is an essential desk book for civil and criminal litigators, as well as transactional counselors of contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, design professionals, project and construction managers, and even project owners. It provides a complete grounding in a complex and often intimidating area of federal and state law. It begins with a brief history and overview of the act, focusing on the sweeping changes made in the 1986 overhaul. A subsequent chapter details the steps and procedural issues involved in a private citizen bringing an action under the False Claims Act (FCA), also known as a qui tam action. The balance of False Claims in Construction Contracts focuses on all aspects of construction-related claims under the FCA, including discussion of the landmark Daewoo case.
Topics covered:
Description and analysis of the federal government's penalties guidelines
The final chapter offers an especially valuable state-by-state summary of state false claims liability. Fourteen states have enacted statutes similar to the federal False Claims Act, and others are currently considering such legislation. Where states do not have a traditional false claims act, the summary explains alternate provisions addressing the submission of construction-related false claims.

Memmo's summaries are gold before exams. I don't have to re-read 800 pages two weeks before — just the important parts.
The AI chat has saved me the night before an exam more than once. I just keep asking until I get it — no waiting on a study group to reply.
The quizzes hit exactly what I need to know. Memmo tracks what I get stuck on — so I only practice what's worth it.
Flashcards with spaced repetition are magic. Memmo knows when I'm about to forget something and brings it back.
The AI podcasts are my favorite. I listen on my way to school and get a recap without sitting at a computer.
