Constructing the WJP Rule of Law Index -- The rule of law around the world -- Statistical Tests on the WJP Rule of Law Index -- Contributing Experts

The WJP Rule of Law Index presents a comprehensive set of indicators on the rule of law from the perspective of the ordinary person. It examines practical situations in which a rule of law deficit may affect the daily lives of ordinary people. For instance, the Index evaluates whether citizens can access public services without the need to bribe a government officer; whether a basic dispute among neighbors or companies can be peacefully and cost-effectively resolved by an independent adjudicator; and whether people can conduct their daily activities without fear of crime or police abuse.
