What does the World Justice Project do?
The World Justice Project employs a multi-pronged strategy to engage the expertise, and build the commitment and actions, of disciplinary leaders worldwide. Since the World Justice Projects start in December 2006, substantial progress has been made in each of the Projects four complementary program areas: • Mainstreaming rule of law advancement through a series of multidisciplinary outreach meetings on five continents with leaders from more than 15 fields of endeavor; • Rigorous scholarship led by two groups of prominent international scholars, examining the relationship between the rule of law and thriving communities and how marginalized groups access justice • A Rule of Law Index, currently being tested, that will assess countries adherence to the rule of law and identify areas where a countrys rule of law is weak: and • The World Justice Forum, of 500 global leaders, held in Vienna, Austria on July 2-5, 2008.
