Botts Hall, Albuquerque Special Collections Library,

In an era where the term Rule of Law is frequently invoked yet often misused and misunderstood, this talk aims to demystify its meaning and global significance. Drawing on extensive experience in both U.S. courts and international judicial reform projects, Norman Meyer will explore the definition, measurement, and real-world application of the Rule of Law. From the World Justice Project’s annual rankings to the functioning of international courts, attendees will gain insights into how the Rule of Law shapes justice systems worldwide. Through personal examples from the United States and abroad, including current challenges in Ukraine, this presentation will illuminate efforts to strengthen the Rule of Law and its crucial role in fostering just and equitable societies.
