Rule of law index (V-Dem)

How far laws are clear, public, stable and applied equally, including to the government, from 0 to 1.

The V-Dem rule of law index measures how far laws are transparent and applied equally, how far the courts and the public administration are independent and free of corruption, and how far the government itself obeys the law. It runs from 0 (least) to 1 (most). Like the other V-Dem indices, it combines the ratings of thousands of country experts through a statistical model. Our World in Data republishes the central estimates.
