The Rule of Law Index is published annually by the World Justice Project (WJP), an independent, multidisciplinary organization. It measures how the rule of law is experienced and perceived in countries worldwide based on eight primary factors: Constraints on Government Powers, Absence of Corruption, Open Government, Fundamental Rights, Order and Security, Regulatory Enforcement, Civil Justice, and Criminal Justice. The index relies on data from household and expert surveys to provide a comprehensive picture of the rule of law in practice.
