Religion and medicine have historically gone hand in hand, but increasingly have come into conflict in the U.S. as health care has become both more secular and more heavily regulated. Law has a dual role here, simultaneously generating conflict between religion and health care, for example through new coverage mandates or legally permissible medical interventions that violate religious norms, while also acting as a tool for religious accommodation and protection of conscience.
This conference identified the various ways in which law intersects with religion and health care in the United States, examined the role of law in creating or mediating conflict between religion and health care, and explored potential legal solutions to allow religion and health care to simultaneously flourish in a culturally diverse nation.

41. Common Law – Informal Fiduciary Relationships The common law has also embraced the concept that certain informal relationships may provide a basis for the imposition of fiduciary duties. Such “confidential relationships” may arise “where one person trusts in and relies upon another, whether the relation is a moral, social, domestic, or merely personal one.” However, it is axiomatic that not all relationships that involve a high level of trust and confidence can be characterized as fiduciary; instead, the law examines whether “influence has been acquired and abused . . . [and] confidence has been reposed and betrayed.” “Due to its extraordinary nature, the law does not recognize a fiduciary relationship lightly. Whether such a duty exists depends on the circumstances.”
