The World Justice Project

Abstract

The World Justice Project (WJP) was founded to show that the work of all disciplines depends on the rule of law and to engage representatives of various disciplines in efforts to advance the rule of law worldwide. The WJP has conducted several programs including outreach meetings, scholarship programs, and an index to assess countries’ adherence to the rule of law. A World Justice Forum was held in 2008 and planning has begun for a second round of multidisciplinary programs.
