Abstract
The WJP Rule of Law Index is a
quantitative assessment tool designed
by the World Justice Project to offer
a comprehensive picture of the extent
to which countries adhere to the rule
of law, not in theory, but in practice.
The WJP Rule of Law Index is derived
from a set of principles that constitute
a working definition of the rule of
law. Adherence to these principles is
measured by means of a large set of
performance indicators that provide a
comprehensive and multidimensional
picture of the status of the rule of law
in each country.
Rather than looking at laws, actors,
or institutional arrangements, the
WJP Rule of Law Index assesses a
by examining practical situations in
which a rule of law deficit could 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 resolved
peacefully and cost-effectively by an
independent adjudicator; and whether
people can conduct their daily activities
without fear of crime or police abuse.
These are among the common situations
that occur in the lives of people and that
are directly influenced by the degree of
rule of law in the society.
