Scholarship on the Rule of Law
The World Justice Project supports rigorous scholarship that examines the contributions of the Rule of Law to various aspects of economic, political, and social development and sheds new light on how to strengthen the Rule of Law. The WJP disseminates and encourages the publication of such research for wide discussion.
Two volumes have been published to date: Global Perspectives on the Rule of Law and Marginalized Communities and Access to Justice, by Routledge Press. The second World Justice Forum, held on November 11-14, 2009, included select prominent scholars from around the globe. The WJP scholarship program is currently chaired by Robert L. Nelson and Amartya Sen.
