Why the emphasis on different disciplines?
Many people do not make the connection between the rule of law and the essentials of their daily lives their safety, jobs, health, education, and infrastructure. In communities where the rule of law is relatively strong, these essentials are taken for granted. Where the rule of law is weak, these life essentials are largely absent. Yet advancing the rule of law has not been in the mainstream of efforts to deliver these essentials to more people. The World Justice Project is engaging a variety of disciplines as collaborators to strengthen the rule of law around the world. In so doing, the World Justice Project seeks to make the rule of law as fundamental to the thinking and actions of these disciplines as it is to lawyers.
