The approach taken by the Council of Europe towards court CMS development and deployment is uniquely edifying, since key decisions were made almost at the same time. And yet, the process and the outcome were different.  

The Council of Europe is an international organization founded in 1949 that aims to protect human rights, democracy, and the rule of law across 46 member states. Based in Strasbourg, France, it is entirely separate from the European Union and its European Council.
