The University of Chicago Law School hosts the World Justice Project Rule of Law Research Consortium (RLRC) Conference, Fall 2014: What We Know and Don’t Know About The Rule of Law, Oct. 31–Nov. 1, 2014.The conference will have three main themes. One section will be on conceptual issues around the concept of the rule of law; a second section will discuss efforts to measure the rule of law, including the new World Justice Project Index, and empirical work that uses the measures. A third will draw on practical issues related to rule of law implementation, and the relationship of theory to practice. For each section, we would like to produce a set of research questions that might be pursued. We will thus have a closing roundtable on setting the agenda going forward.
