Paul Miller’s book 'Fiduciaries and Trust' published by Cambridge University Press
Professor Paul Miller has published a new book on fiduciary law — Fiduciaries and Trust: Ethics, Politics, Economics and Law — with Cambridge University Press. Miller edited the book with Professor Matthew Harding of the University of Melbourne in Australia.
Fiduciaries and Trust is the latest in a series of volumes on fiduciary law and theory edited by Miller in collaboration with other leading scholars. Earlier titles include Philosophical Foundations of Fiduciary Law (2014), Contract, Status, and Fiduciary Law (2016), and The Oxford Handbook of Fiduciary Law (2019).
Fiduciaries and Trust offers new interdisciplinary perspectives on the significance of different varieties of trust to fiduciary law, and to the integrity of relationships and institutions in which fiduciary principles and trust are salient. Legal, moral, social, political, and economic conceptions of trust and their bearing on fiduciary law are examined by contributors from a rich array of vantage points, including those of law, jurisprudence, moral philosophy, political theory, economics, psychology, and sociology.
Drafts of the chapters were presented at a workshop in Melbourne that was jointly supported by the Notre Dame Program on Private Law and Melbourne Law School.
