The WJP Rule of Law Index calculates scores and rankings for eight factors and 44 sub-factors. The Index team constructed the final scores using a five-step process. They codified the questionnaire items as numeric values; produced raw country scores by aggregating the responses from several individuals(experts and/or the general public); normalized the raw scores; aggregated the normalized scores into sub-factors and factors using simple averages; and produced the normalized scores, which are rounded to two decimal points, and the final rankings.
