Abstract: Law is a value-regulatory system aimed at order in social relations. Order is achieved by setting clear qualitative-quantitative legal possibilities in the behavior of subjects in similar situations of permanently recurring human activity in community conditions. This article points to arguments in support of the thesis that the legal measure is a carrier and concretization of the legal meaning, reflecting a typical, correct, reasonable, bilateral, fair setting of the type and volume of legal authority of the subjects in the distribution and exchange of goods within the legal system. The legal measure exceeds in substance and volume the norms in law, it is contained in every expression of law, and therefore it is derived as a fundamental concept of the general theory of law. The theoretical projections of the legal measure are carried out through the legal possibilities of the subjects in terms of type and size, characterized by the implementation of rights, obligations, orders, prohibitions, imperatives.
