As part of the Civil Law Workshops Series for 2008-2009, the Quebec Research Centre of Private and Comparative Law (now known as the Paul-André Crépeau Centre for Private and Comparative Law) organized a series of conferences around the theme of "Trusts in Civil Law". The aim of this series was to study how different civilian traditions around the world conceptualize the Trust.
