Separate Relationship

Designation is not a subscription.

Designation as a Constituent Law Practice is a separate institutional relationship — not a tier, not a subscription, and not available through this access pathway. Designation is initiated by IJC review, not by application or payment. It reflects execution-ground responsibility, continuity of practice, and institutional alignment across a defined jurisdiction and practice domain.

Read the Designation Framework

Multi-domain designation is considered where a single practice carries genuine execution depth across more than one of IJC's five practice domains — assessed independently, without altering the one-per-domain standard per jurisdiction.

If your firm has received a letter from IJC, you have been identified through the jurisdictional review process. Complete the institutional detail submission to formalise designation.

Frequently asked questions

Is Free access really free? Do I need to sign up?
Yes. Surface GLRI data is freely accessible at theijc.org/global-legal-readiness-index/ without registration, sign-up, or any commitment. No email is required.
When is fellowship billed and how?
Fellowship is billed at USD 1,995 per year upon confirmation that the fellowship application has been accepted. Payment is required before access is activated. IJC will confirm the billing method at the time of acceptance.
Is fellowship auto-renewed?
No. Fellowship is not auto-renewed. Each year, IJC reviews whether continuation of the fellowship is appropriate. Fellows are notified in advance of renewal consideration. Some fellows are not renewed — this is by design, not error.
How does EOD billing work?
The EOD rate is confirmed before the engagement begins. There are no open-ended or variable billing arrangements. The rate reflects scope and jurisdiction complexity — between USD 750 (fellow rate) and USD 5,000 (complex standard engagement). Billing occurs upon engagement confirmation.
Can a firm be designated in more than one domain?
Yes, in principle. Multi-domain designation is considered where a single practice carries genuine execution depth across more than one of IJC's five practice domains. This is assessed independently and does not alter the one-per-domain standard per jurisdiction. Designation is not a subscription and carries no fee.
What is the difference between the EOD and legal advice?
The EOD provides institutional orientation — how legal systems behave in practice, based on observed data. It does not produce legal opinions, mandates, or representations. It does not create a client relationship. For jurisdiction-specific legal advice, you need qualified local counsel. The Desk helps you understand the environment before you engage that counsel.
