Fiduciary duties are widely viewed as essential to myriad private
relationships, including guardianships, employment relationships,
trusts, business organizations, and professional relationships.
Recently, legal scholars and courts have devoted increasing
attention to the application of fiduciary principles to public
officials and public institutions. Some have argued that fiduciary
relationships are unified by a common structure, but courts and
commentators typically treat each fiduciary relationship as
distinct. As a result, fiduciary law is often viewed as fragmented.
The Research Handbook on Fiduciary Law shows that fiduciary law can
be a distinctive field of study in its own right. This timely work
presents important accounts of fiduciary relationships and new
ideas on how fiduciary law can be explained. Coverage includes
discussion of fiduciary obligations, fiduciary remedies, the role
of equity and trusts, and public fiduciary law. A number of
comparative perspectives are introduced to highlight similarities
and differences between leading jurisdictions. The chapters in this
Research Handbook help to show why this subject has drawn so many
distinctive points of view, and sheds new light on a multi-faceted
and rapidly growing field of study. This Research Handbook will be
of interest to readers concerned with both the theory and practice
of fiduciary law, as it incorporates significant new insights and
developments in the field. It will also act as a starting point of
new inquiry for those looking to contribute to the field
themselves. Contributors include: S.M. Bainbridge, S.L. Bray, C.M.
