The two-day meeting will take place in The Hague on 26-27 April, 2010 (specific venue and detailed program TBA). Primary goal of the conference is to leverage the academic and policy dialogue on measurement of justice and legal empowerment. Despite the growing needs for measurement and benchmarking both fields are in their formative stage and need further development and collaboration. Different methods and approaches for measuring justice and legal empowerment will be presented and discussed. The measurement dimension will be enriched with insights from practitioners and policy makers. The conference will also host the Fifth annual meeting of The Hague Rule of Law Network. This year the network will deliberate on the possibilities for establishing a comprehensive knowledge platform – kind of a rule of law ‘meeting point’ or ‘marketplace’. To register to this meeting, please contact Ms. Negarra Kudumu at negarra.kudumu@hiil.org or +31-70-3494412. Please, register early and consider the fact that the number of participants is limited.
