Course Book Description: "Students explore the concept of the trust, its development in equity,
and its relationship to other legal concepts. Topics include various
types of trusts; constituting, administering and terminating the trust;
trustee duties and powers; variation of trusts; breach of trust; and
the doctrine of tracing."
As you will see from our Schedule of Classes and Topics, this course covers a very wide variety of topics within the Law of Trusts. Trusts is the only course that you can take in TRU Law [and in the vast majority of law schools] that exists exclusively within the Law of Equity. As such, Trusts exposes you to legal principles that are vital to your understanding of equitable remedies (e.g., obtaining injunctions, orders for specific performance, tracing, accounting, equitable compensation, etc.), the nature and scope of fiduciary duties by non-trustees, and more.
