On 14 October 2021 (10.00 EDT), the World Justice Project will launch its Rule of Law Index 2021, the world’s leading source for original rule of law data. It is the first in this annual series to capture rule of law changes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since 2009, World Justice Project has documented rule of law trends in its index, expanded this year to cover 139 countries and jurisdictions. The index relies on first-hand reports from more than 138,000 households and 4,200 expert surveys to measure how the rule of law is experienced and perceived in practical, everyday situations. It covers such rule of law factors as constraints on government power, fundamental rights, corruption, discrimination, security, and the functioning of regulatory, criminal and civil justice systems
The event will explore the latest findings and their implications for the path to a just recovery.
