The
European Committee on Legal Co-operation (CDCJ) is an
inter-governmental body, set up in 1963 under the auspices of
the Committee of Ministers, which is responsible for the
standard-setting activities of the Council of Europe in the
field of public and private law.
The CDCJ's main role is to draw up standards commonly accepted by the 47 member
states and to foster legal co-operation among them.
The CDCJ is composed of representatives of all member states -
principally from the ministries of justice - who meet once a
year at the headquarters of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg
(France).

A Word from the Chair
The European Committee on Legal Co-operation (CDCJ) is
an intergovernmental steering Committee which has been at the
origin of some 105 ground-breaking conventions and other
instruments in the fields of private and public civil law. It
was created by the Committee of Ministers in 1963 and has a
mandate mainly to steer legal co-operation
among the Council of Europe member States in order to identify
the new and emerging challenges to member States,
to promote and facilitate co-operation and understanding
between member States as well as the functioning and
implementation of Council of Europe conventions, agreements and
protocols, as well as recommendations, including, where
appropriate, any conventional bodies established by them.
Among the many topics the CDCJ has covered are family law, children’s
rights, nationality, administrative law, justice and rule of
law.
