The Fiduciary Law Workshop
The Fiduciary Law Workshop is an annual workshop devoted to fiduciary law scholarship. The inaugural workshop was held at Notre Dame Law School in March 2013, followed by the second annual workshop (McGill University Faculty of Law, May 2014) and the third annual workshop (J. Reuben Clark Law School of Brigham Young University, May 2015).
As you may know, fiduciary law is an under-analyzed but important area of private law that has significant implications for public law. The Fiduciary Law Workshop is intended to foster broad scholarly interest in the field. The Workshop is open to scholars whose work is historical, doctrinal, economic, philosophical, or empirical in methodology. The Workshop welcomes work on any topic that directly engages fiduciary law, whether generalist in nature or focused on the operation of fiduciary principles in a particular area of public or private law.
The Fiduciary Law Workshop is a two-day conference. We expect to have approximately 25-30 attendees. Papers will be circulated well in advance of the workshop. Attendees are asked to read workshop papers in advance, allowing priority to be given during the workshop to discussion of the workshop papers. Our format calls for eight short (5-10 minutes) presentations followed by lengthy (40-50 minute) Q&A periods. Duke Law School will furnish refreshments, breakfast, and lunch during the workshop as well as a workshop dinner on the evening of Friday, June 17th.
Duke Law School is delighted to be hosting the 2016 Workshop. For further information, please contact Victoria Zellefrow at victoria.zellefrow@law.duke.edu.
