The Legal Integrity Project
Independent analysis of legal decisions, international law and the definitions that hold the system together.
Legal debate increasingly happens in headlines, on social media and in political speeches, where precise terms are used loosely and judgments are summarised in a sentence. We exist to slow that down: to explain what a court actually decided, what a legal term actually means, and why the difference matters.
What we cover
Our work spans four areas: domestic law and the courts that apply it; international law and the institutions that interpret it; the definitions that give legal concepts their force; and the institutions whose independence the rule of law depends on.
Our approach
We do not campaign for outcomes. We argue for process, for consistency and for the principle that a legal test should mean the same thing whoever it is applied to.
