Our Work
We engage advocates from across the globe and from multiple work disciplines to advance the rule of law.
On June 2nd, the World Justice Project launched the WJP Rule of Law Index 2015 in Washington DC, presenting our newest data on how the rule of law is experienced by ordinary people in 102 countries around the globe. You can now access the 2015 WJP Rule of Law Index report and data here.
Our latest Index release relies on over 100,000 household and 2,400 expert surveys to measure how the rule of law is experienced in practical, everyday situations around the world. Indicators are organized around constraints on government powers, absence of corruption, open government, fundamental rights, order and security, regulatory enforcement, civil justice, and criminal justice. The event included a presentation our latest findings by Chief Research Officer Alejandro Ponce, live audience polling, and a panel discussion on some of today's most pressing rule of law issues.
