A legal clarification project aims to address a legal question or change the existing legal situation. The focus is not on financial compensation but on clarifying a legal issue with broader significance beyond an individual case. These projects can involve both public and private law matters.
Even without a legal dispute, such a project can be supported through media campaigns or scholarly articles. Sponsors interested in clarifying the issue can support the project through litigation financing. A trustee ensures that all funds are used exclusively for the defined purpose.
