What makes The World Justice Project unique?
How does The World Justice Project define the rule of law?
Why is the rule of law important?
I'm not a lawyer or a judge. Why should the rule of law matter to me?
Why does The World Justice Project emphasize multidisciplinary collaboration?
The World Justice Project believes that multidisciplinary collaboration is the most effective way to advance the rule of law. As the rule of law is integral to all disciplines and sectors, it is necessary that the perspectives, expertise, and resources from all professions work together to ensure results are innovative, effective, and comprehensive. Thus, the WJP holds action-oriented outreach meetings with leaders from a range of fields, creating the basis for collaborative efforts to advance the rule of law.
