INVALID CASE MANAGEMENT AND PUBLIC ACCESS SYSTEM
IMPLEMENTED IN THE ISRAELI COURT, UNDERMINING HUMAN RIGHTS Joseph Zernik, PhD Human Rights Alert (NGO) Jz12345@earthlink.net English The courts of the State of Israel have recently completed the implementation of a new case management and public access system – Net Ha-Mishpat. Upon review it was found that the system: • Fails to include a valid Index of All Cases, as required by the law of the State of Israel. • Fails to permit any public access to dockets, minutes, or valid calendars. • Fails to permit public access to papers filed by parties. • Permits the posting of rulings and decisions with no certification by a judge and no attestation by a clerk. • Fails to list the Detainees Courts or permit access to any of their records, effectively establishing these courts as secretive tribunals. Attempts to access court records, to inspect and to copy, in the offices of the clerks have been denied. Public access is effectively permitted today only through Net Ha-Mishpat. In August 2010 request for clarification was filed with the Courts Authority and Ombudsman of the State of Israel. Response by the Authority was inadequate, and the Ombudsman failed to respond. In February 2011 report was published by the Haaretz daily: “Court issues ruling, with quotes, from nonexistent hearing”. The false ruling reflected a court hearing that never took place in a Detainees Court. Spokesperson for the Department of Justice called the report a ‘tempest in a teapot’ and a secretarial error in data entry in the system. Case management systems in the courts are often implemented with insufficient public oversight. Invalid case management systems undermine the fundamental Human Rights for Fair Hearings and public access to court records, to inspect and to copy. The public at large, the press, and computing experts, in particular, should exercise their right to access court records, and perform their civic duties in examining the validity and integrity of court records and case management systems in nations, where the courts transition to digital administration.
