The World Justice Project (WJP) is thrilled to announce that the next edition of the World Justice Forum will take place June 23 – 26, 2025 in Warsaw, Poland, in partnership with the Polish Ministry of Justice.  

The World Justice Forum is the premier international event for the rule of law, convening influential rule of law and justice stakeholders from around the world to exchange best practices, collaborate, and commit to action.  

WJP will hold the 2025 World Justice Forum with an ambitious agenda to help reverse the global rule of law recession and mount a counter-offensive to authoritarian expansion. The Forum will invigorate this agenda by inviting policy makers to affirm their commitment to rule of law progress, featuring an evidence base of impactful rule of law success stories, and facilitating action-oriented discussions with stakeholders across sectors to mobilize rule of law solutions.  

This milestone event will focus on accountable governance, and work to strengthen the rule of law ecosystem that prevents government overreach and ensures whose who govern are bound by the law.  

Please mark your calendars to save the date for this convening. In the meantime, we invite you to sign up for the World Justice Project's email newsletter. That way, you will be the first to receive World Justice Forum registration alerts, speaker announcements, and information about how to contribute to Forum programming.
