12-12-18 PRESS RELEASE - Large-scale fraud in the Israeli courts' new electronic record systems is detailed in a paper, peer-reviewed by CYBERLAW 2013


The paper documents large scale fraud in the Israeli courts, including but not limited to Net HaMishpat.  The systems enable the deprivation of Due Process and Access to the Courts through the conduct of simulated litigation. The systems also violate the respective laws of the State of Israel, pertaining to the administration of the courts. The paper was subjected to anonymous peer-reviewed and was accepted by CYBERLAW 2013, a law and technology conference.  Two weeks after acceptance the paper was "rejected" through a dubious procedure by a self-identified "volunteer" and "logistics" of the organizers, IARIA – the International Academy, Research, and Industry Association.

Net HaMishpat – the electronic record system of the Israeli  district courts.


Jerusalem, December 18 –  a paper, documenting large-scale fraud in design and operation of the new electronic record systems of the Israeli courts (including, but not limited to Net HaMishpat) was subjected to anonymous peer-review and was accepted for publication by CYBERLAW 2013, an international law and technology conference. [1]
The paper, authored by Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO) documents how the electronic record systems of the courts enable the deprivation of Due Process and Access to the Courts through the conduct of simulated litigation.
Papers by the same author on similar subjects were previously peer-reviewed and published in international technology and criminology journals.  The current paper, the first to be reviewed by legal experts, adds case studies from recent years and legal analysis of the fraud in the electronic record systems of the courts, relative to the law of the State of Israel. 
Records from several cases are presented to document the outcome of such practices in the administration of justice, including the case of the self-immolated, social protest activist Moshe Silman.  The evidence shows that he was subjected to simulated litigation in the Tel Aviv District Court, where he filed a complaint against the Social Security Administration. [3]
Conduct of simulated litigation has also been recently documented in the Supreme Court of the State of Israel, in a case pertaining to banking regulation. [4]
Both the Supreme Court and the district courts:
·         Deny access by the public and by parties to dockets (list of records entered into registration in a given court file);
·         Routinely serve decisions that are not signed by a judge and not authenticated by a clerk.  
The case of Moshe Silman also documents how the Tel-Aviv District Court maintains double-books: Some decisions are served (unsigned), others are registered in the case management of the Court but never served, and listing of court decisions in the public access system is selective.
The paper proposes that such conditions in the courts are key violations of Human Rights of the People of the State of Israel.
The new electronic record systems, reviewed in the paper, have been implemented over the past decade. According to the Israeli State Ombudsman's Report (2010), two large, US-based corporations, IBM and EDS, were involved in the project in violation of the law of the State of Israel: Contracts were awarded with no bidding and the systems were developed with no written specifications, with no core supervision and no inspection of the final product by State employees.
The current paper offers far-reaching conclusions: In civilized societies, where separation of the powers of the branches of government is established by law, and where no court is permitted to enact its own rules of operation, no court should be permitted to develop and implement its own electronic record system.  
Two weeks after acceptance of the current paper by CYBERLAW 2013 through anonymous peer-review, the paper was "rejected" through a dubious procedure by a self-identified "volunteer" and "logistics" of the organizers, IARIA - the International Academy, Research, and Industry Association. [2] Concomitantly, the author, Dr Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO), was invited by the same organizers to participate in two discussion panels in the same conference.
In response, Dr Zernik forwarded his objection to the latest notice of rejection by IARIA and asked for corrective actions by IARIA elected officers. [2] In his December 15th letter, Dr Zernik notes that rejection through an ambiguous procedure of dubious authority was employed to overturn the acceptance through anonymous scholarly peer-review;  that the reasons, which are now provided for the rejection, are in part invalid, and in part ludicrous, and that conduct of IARIA amounts to effective censorship of novel, peer-reviewed report, which details large-scale fraud in the electronic records of the courts.  Response by the organizers indicates that 'a committee is organized to revisit the articles'.
The 2012 submission of Human Rights Alert (NGO) to the Alert to the Human Rights Council (HRC) of the United Nations is likely to be a first – based on data mining and analysis of electronic record systems of the justice system of the State of Israel. [5-9]
The 2010 submission of Human Rights Alert to the Human Rights Council (HRC) of the United Nations was in part based on analysis of the fraud in the electronic records of the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.  The submission was reviewed and incorporated into the official HRC Professional Staff Report with a note referring to “corruption of the courts and the legal profession and discrimination by law enforcement in California.” [10] 
Corruption of the courts in the United States is increasing recognized as a central cause in undermining banking regulation and the current socio-economic crisis. (see quotes below)
