11-05-07 UCLA Law Professor Richard Steinberg, a Human Rights expert, is asked to opine regarding Human Rights in Los Angeles, California, and corruption of the Los Angeles courts // La corrupción de los tribunales de Los Ángeles // 腐败洛杉矶法院

The UCLA Human Rights Project aims "to advance the cause of human rights and international justice around the world." A United Nations Human Rights report refers to "corruption of the courts and the legal profession in California".

  

Los Angeles, May 7 - UCLA Law School Professor Richard Steinberg, Director of the Sanela Diana Jenkins Human Rights Law Project, has been asked to provide a legal ethics opinion.  [[i]]

UCLA Law Prof Richard Steinberg is uniquely qualified to address questions of criminal justice and Human Rights in Los Angeles County, California

The requested opinion pertains to response, or lack thereof, by the Anti Defamation League (ADL) National Director Abraham Foxman, on request for ADL's opinion regarding alleged public corruption and racketeering in the courts by key figures in the Los Angeles Jewish-Legal community.

In his request, Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO) notes that Prof Steinberg is uniquely qualified to address the question, given that he is a law professor, with special interests in criminal justice and Human Rights, and most likely also a resident of Los Angeles County, California.

The Project's mission is "to advance the cause of human rights and international justice around the world."

      

ADL was asked to opine on alleged racketeering in the courts by leading figures in the Los Angeles Legal-Jewish community

Dr Zernik has recently filed a request with Mr Abraham Foxman, National Director of the Anti Defamation League (ADL), for ADL's opinion regarding alleged public corruption and racketeering in the courts by leading figures of the Los Angeles Jewish-Legal community.  The allegations pertain to current and former officers of BET TZEDEK - the Los Angeles "HOUSE OF JUSTICE", an affiliate organization of the Greater Los Angeles Jewish Federation. [[ii],[iii]]

Dr Zernik has expressed his concern that his writing, and the positions held by such individuals, are likely to lead people to conclude that the Los Angeles Jewish community holds in high esteem, or even as its leaders, individuals, who represent the worst in any civil society - individuals who are engaged in corruption of the courts and violation of Human Rights. Moreover, Dr Zernik has pointed out the large number of readers of his writings.

In order to remove any doubts on such important matter, and knowing that ADL has a good-size legal department and considerable resources, Dr Zernik has requested a formal opinion by ADL on these allegations.  With the letter, large volume of evidence has been provided to ADL.

ADL'
s stated mission is "to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all."

The allegations pertain to senior officers of Bet Tzedek, the House of Justice, and are supported by opinions of fraud experts of the highest reputation
       
Terry Friedman                  David Pasternak                         Sandor Samuels  

The allegations are supported by opinions of fraud experts of the highest reputation, and are part of conduct that was opined in the 2010 Human Rights Council of the United Nations as "corruption of the courts and the legal profession in California". [[iv]]

Over the past several years, Dr Zernik has often written, published online, and distributed by email to a large recipient list materials, which may be deemed by some as defamatory of key Jewish organizations in Los Angeles, California:

  • BET TZEDEK, the "HOUSE OF JUSTICE", and
  • THE GREATER LOS ANGELES JEWISH FEDERATION, with whom it is affiliated.
His writing allege public corruption and racketeering in the courts by current and former senior officers of BET TZEDEK:
  • SANDOR SAMUELS, current and former President;
  • DAVID PASTERNAK, former President (possibly current member of the Board of Directors)
  • TERRY FRIEDMAN, former Executive Director.
SANDOR SAMUELS also lists himself as a Board Member in a number of other prominent Los Angeles Jewish organizations:
  • AMERICAN JEWISH UNIVERSITY, LOS ANGELES
  • ZIEGLER SCHOOL OF RABBINIC STUDIES
  • SHALHEVET SCHOOL
  • ADAT ARI EL SYNAGOGUE, VALLEY VILLAGE
Bet Tzedek's motto is the biblical command "Justice, justice you shall pursue!" (Deut. 16:20)
