Los Angeles, August 29 - in response to a request [3] by Leslie Brodie, of the The Leslie Brodie Report, [4] Joseph Zernik, PhD, [5] of Human Rights Alert (NGO) provided a short contribution regarding corruption of the Los Angeles Superior Court (LASC), its causes and history. 
Based on extensive studies of the courts, the writer offered some educated guesses.

A. QUANTIFYING CORRUPTIONToday, rampant corruption of the state and US courts is fully documented from coast to coast.  However, studying and quantifying corruption remain difficult.

Regardless, it is estimated that Los Angeles County and the Los Angeles Superior Court remain one of the most corrupt in the nation.
  • Computerization of the courts provides methods, which were previously not available, for screening numerous court cases.  Based on such reviews, the writer believes that the LASC and likewise, the US District Court in Los Angeles, are exceptionally corrupt. (see below)
  • Los Angeles County was notoriously corrupt already in the early 20th century, during the "Water Wars", remembered by the public primarily through the movie Chinatown.
  • In 2006 the Blue Ribbon Review Panel published its report, following a 3-year study. The report opined that corruption in Los Angeles County at that time (2006) was higher than during the Water Wars.  The report also pointed out specifically the LASC as a key to the corruption. [6] (see below)
  • The writer believes that in the wake of the financial crisis, corruption of the LASC today is much higher than in 2006. (see below)
B. HISTORY and CAUSES
  • Iran-Contra Scandal (~1982-1992)
The writer believes that Iran-Contra Scandal was a key period in corruption of the LASC. During that period, federal agencies engaged in wholesale trafficking and distribution of cocaine in LA County. 

The matter was fully documented in a US Department of Justice report. [7]

Local and state law enforcement, as well as the courts, had to collude in such corruption, which effectively designated Los Angeles County as an extra-constitutional zone.[8]
  • Rampart Scandal (1998-present)
In the aftermath of Iran-Contra, LAPD and some federal agencies continues to control and profit from drug trade in LA, as documented in reports from the Rampart Scaldal - the largest court corruption scandal in the history of the United States.  However, following their conduct during the Iran-Contra Scandal, federal agencies were not ready, willing, able to address corruption of the LAPD and the LASC.  Therefore, they left the corrupt LAPD, DA, and LASC to investigate, prosecute, and adjudge themselves. 

The outcome was a cover up, with the resulting ongoing false imprisonment of thousands of Rampart FIPs (Falsely Imprisoned Persons). [9]

The public and media ignored the corruption, since they it pertained primarily to the criminal courts, and the victims were almost exclusively blacks and Latinos.  However, whoever thought that the same judges could be corrupt in the morning in a criminal case, and honest in the afternoon in a civil case, must have been deluded.
  • Implementation of Sustain (~1985 - present)
For historic reasons, Los Angeles County was in the early 1980's a leading area in the development of early large scale institutional computer systems. (dBase, Ashton Tate were based in the County).  Therefore, LASC was one of the first courts in the United States to implement a computerized case management system - Sustain. Sustain (the corporation) is wholly controlled by the Daily Journal (the largest legal daily in California), which in turn is rumored to be controlled by the California Bar Association.

Sustain was opined by this writer and internationally renowned computer experts as a fraud on the public. [10,11]

The system enables the routine conduct of simulated litigation in cases before the courts.  Such cases are not considered by the Court itself as cases that were litigated pursuant to the law of California or the United States.

The case of Sustain also documents the leading role of the LASC as a corrupt court: The system is today implemented, according to the corporation's web site in 11 states!
  • Corruption of the US District Court, Los Angeles (?-present)
Corruption of the LASC could not have prevailed, absent protection by the USDC, Los Angeles, and the US Department of Justice.
Based on review of cases in the USDC, LA, and numerous other US district courts, the writer believes that the USDC LA today serves as a "clearing house" for various dubious transactions by US agencies, such as the movement of persons and things (including moneys) inside and outside the United States.
  • Countrywide and Bank of America (1990s-present)
Countrywide Financial Corporation was based in Los Angeles County.  The evidence shows that already in the early 2000, the corporation was conducted as a corrupt organization.
Likewise, FBI reports from the early 2000s indicated that Los Angeles County was, already then, the "epicenter of the epidemic of real estate and mortgage fraud".

It is claimed that already in the late 1990's the LASC moves on from control of the drug trade to real estate and financial institution fraud as its core business. It is claimed that it was the synergy between the two corrupt organizations - LASC and Countrywide - that created the "epicenter of the epidemic". [12-18]

The current financial crisis in its core reflects widespread corruption of the US justice system, and the breakdown of any semblance of due process in deprivation of life, liberty and property.
