What is a Rule of Law Brief?
A Rule of Law Brief is a short, fact-based, research-driven, student-written piece that covers a narrow rule of law topic, such as a particular rule-of-law building project, or a particular problem somewhere in the world. The Journal's goal is to produce a collection of new Rule of Law Briefs with each issue, and to update them regularly. Eventually, the Rule of Law Briefs will become a source of up-to-date information for what is going on in the Rule of Law world.
