Mr. Neukom's primary initiative as president of the ABA is the World Justice Project. The World Justice Project is a multinational, multidisciplinary initiative to strengthen the rule of law worldwide. It is building a broad and diverse constituency that is advancing the rule of law as a foundation for thriving communities. The Project has developed a Rule of Law Index, which will assess countries’ adherence to the rule of law and identify areas where a country’s rule of law is weak so that it may best utilize scarce resources. The World Justice Forum, held in Vienna, Austria, in July 2008, brought together nearly 500 participants from 95 countries and 15 disciplines to develop projects to further advance the rule of law.

Mr. Neukom is not a member of Legal Trends Network. He is honored here for the great work he has done on the World Justice Project and his commitment to the establishment of the Rule of Law worldwide.
