# Looking for 2 legal terms

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-12-16)

I'm looking for legalese.

1. breach of fiduciary trust (fiduciary basically means, as an adjective, 'having financial responsibility for someone else's money' from Latin 'fidere' trust)
2. negligence

For 1. I have 违背受托责任 and for 2. I have 玩忽职守 but I have no way of knowing if these are in fact the terms a Chinese lawyer might use.

Are they acceptable? Any improvements welcome!
