The National Service Centre for the Judiciary (LDCR) manages the content of the website www.rechtspraak.nl. It does so on behalf of the Council for the Judiciary (Rvdr). Exceptions to this are the news articles and organizational information about the Judiciary. Courts, appellate courts, and the Rvdr write and publish the news articles on this website. The Rvdr manages the organizational information about the Judiciary.

IVO Rechtspraak, the ICT organization of the Judiciary, manages mijn.rechtspraak.nl (the digital services of the Judiciary) on behalf of the Rvdr.

The LDCR, IVO Rechtspraak, and the courts manage the registers – including the register of court judgments – on behalf of the Rvdr.
