Legal Duties of Fiduciaries

Legal Duties of Fiduciaries examines the structure, principles, themes and objectives of fiduciary law. Law is populated by fiduciaries. They appear in contract, tort, corporate law, agency, partnership, criminal law, environmental law, employment law, property and procedure, and constitutional law. Like family members, fiduciaries are similar yet distinct. Rarely are fiduciaries viewed as a group in a systematic manner. The purpose of this book is to study them together and examine fiduciary law’s reach and its limits as one category.
