Internationally renowned scholars will convene at DePaul University College of Law to identify and address issues in fiduciary law on July 19 and 20, 2013. Fiduciary law is one of the most important yet one of the least analyzed areas of private law. This conference will bring unprecedented attention to this neglected area of legal and philosophical inquiry. Conference participants will address foundational issues in fiduciary law, including the nature of the fiduciary relationship, the content of the fiduciary duty of loyalty, the place of fiduciary law in equity, and fiduciary theories of government and international order.
Andrew GoldProfessor Andrew Gold of DePaul University College of Law and Professor Paul Miller of McGill University Faculty of Law are co-organizers of the conference. The conference papers will be published in a book, Philosophical Foundations of Fiduciary Law, forthcoming from Oxford University Press.
