On August 1, 2024, the World Justice Project (WJP) will host Meeting the Challenge, an event to support collective problem-solving, learning, and exchange of best practices on rule of law and democracy challenges.
This one-day, in-person event will bring together more than 100 representatives from global and US-based democracy advocacy organizations, bar and legal associations, donors, and researchers to encourage partnerships and action for strengthening rule of law and building democratic resilience. The centerpiece will be project showcases from the finalists of the 2024 World Justice Challenge, WJP’s global prize competition to recognize impactful, replicable initiatives that advance the rule of law. The event will take place during the American Bar Association (ABA) Annual Meeting in Chicago.
