Implementation

The required three basic steps for implementing the Framework are:

  • Self-assessment
  • Analysis
  • Improvement Planning and Implementation

The International Consortium has developed a number of tools and resources to assist court in taking these steps.

Thinking of Implementing the International Framework for Court Excellence? provides an overview of these three steps. These materials were created for the 2nd edition.

A Model Agenda includes an illustrative agenda and a PowerPoint slide deck for a one-day-and-a-half workshop on the Framework:
