Program areas at WJP

Research and the rule of law index: the wjp rule of law index measures how the rule of law is perceived and experienced in everyday life around the globe. It is the most comprehensive index of its kind and the only to rely solely on primary data. Adherence to the rule of law is assessed using indicators organized around eight themes: constraints on government powers, absence of corruption, open government, fundamental rights, order and security, regulatory enforcement, civil Justice, and criminal Justice. The wjp rule of law index is based on years of development, intensive consultation, and vetting with academics, practitioners, and community leaders from over 100 countries and 17 professional disciplines. The index is intended for a broad audience of policy makers, civil society, practitioners, academics and others. Index findings have been referenced by heads of state, chief justices, business leaders, public officials, and the press. Wjp maintains a global network of scholars, its rule of law consortium, and regularly convenes it to inform scholars about its rule of law data and engage them in scholarly exchange about contemporary research relating to the rule of law
Engagement: the World Justice Project's engagement efforts include connecting and developing a global network, organizing and leading strategic convenings, and supporting practical, locally-led programs. Our biennial World Justice forum is the premier international event for the rule of law. During this week-long convening, global and community leaders from an array of sectors and interests come together to share insights, build their networks, explore strategies, and develop solutions for advancing peace, equity, and opportunity. The World Justice forum provides a central opportunity to move the conversation forward on difficult topics; identify the people who should be involved; seed practical action; plan coherent strategies and workplans; and build the required momentum for a global movement to advance rule of law.
