Abstract
This issue of the Syracuse Law Review contains the proceedings of the Fourth National Guardianship Summit, an interdisciplinary online conference with some 125 participants which was held in May 2021 and hosted by the Syracuse University College of Law. In addition to this Introduction, this issue of the Law Review contains the Recommendations approved by the Summit attendees, and the articles prepared for the Summit. The theme of the Fourth Summit was Maximizing Autonomy and Ensuring Accountability. The Recommendations fit this theme, including Recommendations to enhance the rights of persons subject to guardianship, to improve and increase the use of supported decision-making, to increase the use of limited guardianship, including the possible elimination of plenary guardianship, to rethink guardianship monitoring to reduce tensions between fiduciary roles, and to create and fund a court improvement program for adult guardianship. The Recommendations and other details of the Fourth Summit are best considered after a discussion of the history of the prior three conferences.
