Further topics of the journal are drug and medical device law, health care legislation and medical ethics.
In the essay part, medical law topics with scientific claim are discussed. Prepared court decisions are printed in the jurisprudence section. There are also contributions to the discussion in the “Forum” section, book reviews and communications from the health sector such as B.
