Trust Law - This is what many believe "governs" our Trustees - A little information on the MCA Trust Law Codes

What is Trust Law?  I asked a friend versed in trust law a few years ago.  The short answer - Trust Law is a combination of English Common Law and Statues (msw believes statues are laws made by the legislature).

Trust Law is being brought up on this blog post as many believe that Trust Law contains the guiding rules for Missoula County Public Schools Board Trustees.  Otherwise, why would these elected officials be named "Trustees"?  It couldn't be just to add a fancy title to their names, could it?

msw would like to provide some links, although it certainly will not be complete, to Montana's Trust Law as contained in the Montana Code Annotated (MCA for short).

To start -

Below is a link to Title 72 of the MCA, the portion of the MCA having to do with Trust Law.
