The World Observatory of Legal Indicators (OMID) is a platform developed by the Fondation pour le Droit continental (Civil Law Initiative). Our observatory brings together all existing legal indicators on a single platform and provides a standardised classification for an easy overview of all indicators.

In a world where measuring performance has long been dominated by economic indicators, the time has come to rethink evaluation criteria.
The era of international rankings such as the World Bank’s “Doing Business” has shown just how crucial the influence of these measures can be. However, with the emergence of new demands – ecological transition, digitalisation, respect for human rights – the traditional approach needs to be reassessed from a more global perspective. In this context, the Fondation pour le Droit Continental, renowned for its scientific research initiatives under the direction of Professor Bruno Deffains, is launching an ambitious project: a global observatory of legal indicators. The aim of this platform is to compile all existing measures in order to provide a more comprehensive overview of the performance of States in the field of law. More than an academic breakthrough, this observatory is intended to be a decisive decision-making tool, relevant for both public institutions and private entities.
A major transformation has begun in the field of legal assessment. The opportunity has arisen to redefine the criteria for success and effectiveness on a global scale. This is a strategic turning point not to be missed by all decision-makers involved in the creation and implementation of law.
