Abstract

From the Introduction

The Handbook’s chapters are grouped thematically into four parts. Part I provides a survey of fiduciary principles across diverse contexts, ranging from trust and corporate law, to family law and the law of lawyering, to public offices and public international law. Part II identifies and synthesizes several fundamental principles of fiduciary law that apply across these contexts, including the core fiduciary duties of loyalty and care. Part III explores how fiduciary principles have developed across time and in different legal traditions. Finally, Part IV considers how different legal theories, interdisciplinary approaches, and social institutions may contribute to the academic study and development of fiduciary law.
