The services offered through the Case Matrix Network fall in two distinct but related categories: (1) Legal Tools-related services and (2) other services.

The first category of services ((1) above) includes (a) installation of the Case Matrix and training in its use; and (b) training in the use of the Legal Tools Database. These Legal Tools are free ICC services. They have been developed through the ICC Legal Tools Project, a Project of the ICC Office of the Prosecutor, which in 2005 opened some of the Legal Tools to the ICC as a whole and the general public. Access to the Legal Tools Database is open through www.legal-tools.org, whereas access to the Case Matrix is limited to those who work on one or more core international crimes cases. Such access can be requested by sending an e-mail message to case.matrix@icc-cpi.int. The Director of the Network (Morten Bergsmo) is also the Co-ordinator of the Legal Tools Project outside the ICC. He utilizes this Network site as a management platform for his co-ordination of services (a) and (b) above. That is one of the functions of this site. 

The second category of Network services ((2) above) draws on the combined expertise and experience of the Network Advisers (described in the next section) and the Director of the Network. Together they have first-hand experience with and a broad range of skills required for the effective and fair documentation, investigation and prosecution of serious human rights violations that may amount to core international crimes, as well as in the legislative and administrative facilitation of such work processes, including the formulation of best practices. These services are offered by the Network on the basis of requests to and an understanding with its Director. They can be offered in situ or remotely, confidentially or not, on an ad hoc basis or through secondment. They currently include the following: 

1. advice on the establishment and organization of investigation and prosecution units for core international crimes, including the formulation of skills required, establishing the relationship between different professional groups within such units, defining job requirements and functions, budgeting, drafting prosecution regulations and directives, drafting codes of ethics and other integrity instruments, drafting criteria for the prioritization and selection of cases, drafting investigation or other work plans, and drafting prosecution strategies;
    
2. advice on - or organization of services addressing - legal information, legal knowledge and legal skills needs of those who document, investigate, prosecute, adjudicate or defend against allegations of serious human rights violations which may amount to core international crimes, including the organization and management of legal advisory services, the development and use of legal databases, the use of information technology to support legal research, drafting, training and other forms of competence building;
    
3. advice on the drafting of and review of legislation and other legal documents relevant to serious human rights violations which may amount to core international crimes, including legislation importing international crimes into national criminal law, legislation facilitating implementation of obligations under the statutes or other instruments of internationalised criminal jurisdictions, military manuals on international humanitarian law, and constitutional or other compatibility studies;
    
4. advice on the jurisprudence of the internationalised ad hoc tribunals on questions of procedural law;
    
5. training and coaching in issues mentioned under (i), (ii) and (iii) above, including training in all aspects of international criminal law and justice and international humanitarian law. Such training is customised to the specific needs of the user, with particular emphasis on practical use of information technology. Examples of beneficiaries include legislative drafters, judges, prosecutors, investigators, human rights professionals and civil society. Training of future trainers is encouraged;
       
6. advice on - or organization of services addressing - analytical support of the investigation and prosecution of core international crimes cases.

The Director of the Network has established an Advisory Board to advice on the best organization and provision of the second category of services through the Network.
