The International Framework for Court Exellence (IFCE)

The International Framework for Court Excellence is a quality management system designed to help courts to improve their performance. It includes universal core values, seven areas of court excellence aligned with those values, as well as concepts, case studies, and tools by which courts worldwide can voluntarily assess and improve the quality of justice and court administration.

IFCE Self-Assessment Tools

The IFCE self-assessment checklist is a self-administered instrument that can be used to determine what areas of court excellence must be addressed in the short-term and what areas require intermediate or long-term planning for quality improvement. It is the first necessary step for a court towards developing a plan to close the gap between “what is” and “what can be” as prescribed by the IFCE.
