The award is given to administrative organizations for their measures or programs in advancing the rule of law in administration and the government.

This award is open for candidates from governments and departments at all levels, including the central government and local governments. Organizations conducting public management duties authorized by law and regulations are also included. 

The selection process for this award is open and transparent, which encourages and welcomes participation and supervision from the general public. 

This year’s judging panel for the final round consists of 13 experts who are law consultants and legal practitioners. 15 organizations secured the award and 13 were nominated. 

In recent years, Otog Front Banner has made continuous efforts to promote building a lawful government. It is the first banner in Inner Mongolia that has built a legal affairs center to better serve its people.
