For several years now, law office TARK has participated as one of the representatives of Estonia in compiling the “World Justice Project Rule of Law Index”. The World Justice Project (WJP) is an independent organization that annually compiles an important publication – the Rule of Law Index. Based on the index, countries are ranked according to how the rule of law is experienced and perceived based on the experience of representatives from 140 countries.
An important contribution to the development, strengthening and promotion of the Estonian rule of law.
Law office TARK was chosen by the WJP as one of the representatives of Estonia in compiling the “Rule of Law Index 2023” because we have a vast experience in many fields of law. During this cooperation, we advised the WJP on questions regarding constitutional law, labor law, civil liberties and criminal law. As far as the WJP is aware, many national governments are using this unique report to develop changes to their regulatory environment.
The joint efforts of Estonian representatives and society in creating a strong rule of law are bearing fruit, and last year Estonia qualified for a very strong 9th place out of 140 countries.
The team advising WJP included senior partner Aare Tark and partner Tauno Tark.
