Yes, there is a great deal of difference in a country ruled by law & a country where the Rule of Law obtains - the latter ebbing a norm of legality that has a space for justice & fairness, in its 'thicker' forms (the rule by law, is a very 'thin' view of what the Rule of Law offers society.
If you're at all interested you can find my thoughts on the subject in a book I wrote over a decade ago.
