I request that you reconsider. Not as a Dean, but as an individual HarvardLaw Professor, who stated her research interests as including
Human Rights and Transitional Societies
.There is no doubt that the issues at hand are of historic significance, and the future of Democracy in America is inthe balance. There is no doubt that the judiciary, as a class, abdicated their duties, or worse. Much of the same islikely to be attributed, with the passage of time, to US attorneys as a class. The question remains open for the time being what the role of law school professors was in this unprecedented crisis. Therefore, instant correspondenceno doubt would become a primary historic record - response by Harvard Law School Dean, on behalf of theHarvard Law School, which was refusal to provide support in restoration of fundamental integrity to a renegade justice system.I do not believe that the review of the relevant papers (links 7 and 8) would take more than a few hours, and aletter of one short paragraph, similar to that produced by Prof Eli Shamir, would suffice. I provide his letter as anexample, not in the sense of the specific opinion expressed in it. Instead - for the fact that he refrained fromissuing a definitive opinion, but stated the credibility of the allegations, and the need to remove any doubtregarding integrity of such systems, for the safeguard of Justice, Human Rights, and a law abiding community.

I again thank you for your expedient response, and again request that you reconsider. It would be an abysmalstatement regarding law in the US, if the critical opinions in this matter would all come from outside the US. If you believe that there is no way that you, as an individual Harvard Law Professor, could provide the opinion, I would be grateful if you could name three Harvard Law Faculty, who hold reputation, which would match the seriousnessof the question at hand. I would then approach them individually.Truly,Joseph Zernik, PhD

The opinion letter that was sought falls squarely in that realm - theunderlying claim is that the transition from paper based society, and paper based administration of the courts to digitalrecords based society, and digital administration of the courts was of historic nature. Under such transition, the courts,and in particular the Administrative Office of the US Courts, conducted themselves in less than honor way, to deprive thepeople of the US of essential Human Rights that were already fully established for generations.Truly,Joseph Zernik, PhD

The findings, and therecords that the experts are requested to opine upon are described in details in links #7, 8, below. As detailed below, preliminary opinions were already obtained of fraud pertaining to the respective systems of theLos Angeles Superior Court.PACER and CM/ECF, as operated at the US District Court, Los Angeles, were implemented with no publicoversight, no publicly accountable validation, and without founding them in Local Rules of Court, in disregard of the Rule Making Enabling Act. Some of the blatant fraudulent features in PACER and CM/ECF, for example, arethe omission of all authentication records (the NEFs - Notices of Electronic Filings) from public access in PACER,and allowing access to them only to attorneys who are authorized in a given case. Moreover, as documented in thelinks below, under such conditions, access is also routinely denied to pro se litigants. Furthermore, asdocumented below, the courts in certain cases, then take the liberty of issuing false, invalid authentication records, while posting the respective records in PACER as "Entered". Under such conditions the public is left in the dark,unable to discern which court records are honest, valid, and effectual court records, such that require "full faithand credit", and which ones are not.There simply is no explanation for such design and operation of a case managements system that is consistent withhonest administration of the courts and the furtherance of justice.Such alleged fraud in court records, copied below, of the US District Court in Los Angeles was perpetrated in thehabeas corpus petition of Richard Fine
