As part of basic research of legal sciences, the subproject deals with the term "trust", drawing on the example of medicine and its fields of application. "Trust in the laws" is examined as a form of trust in the system. However, the law does not only have a trust-building but also a trust-threatening effect. Finding the appropriate degree of legal regulation (in the broader sense, i.e. through legislation, dispensation of justice, and executive acting) requires determination criteria, which are worked outwith the aid of a notional and methodical concept.
