Rabbi Sharon Brous Ikar Synagogue Los Angeles Dear Rabbi Brous: Thanks again for your previous response on questions related to Jewish ethics. I write to ask for your Jewish ethics perspective pertaining to the ethics duties of leaders of the Jewish community and US judges, in the wake of the recent official report of the Human Rights Council of the United Nations, which noted "corruption of the courts and the legal  profession" in California in general. The evidence was based in part on corruption and racketeering in the courts by leaders of the Los Angeles Jewish-legal community. The questions are: 1) Recently, I have filed a request with Mr Abraham Foxman, National Director of the Anti Defamation League (ADL), for ADL's opinion regarding evidence of public corruption and racketeering in the courts by leading figures of the Los Angeles Jewish-legal community (see  below).

 Are California and US Jewish religious leaders bound by duty to press for the initiation of corrective actions? In his response [i], Rabbi Lerner expressed surprise that his previous response was published, and deemed the publication unethical. In reply, Dr Zernik stated that all previous correspondence on the matter, both with Rabbi Lerner himself and with others was published, and copies of the publications were routinely forwarded to Rabbi Lerner. Therefore, Rabbi Lerners surprise at this point was difficult to comprehend.
