    Support in countering scientific and legal misconduct\n<\/p>\n

    We provide assistance in the handling of fraud and misconduct involving the areas of science, law, and their intersection: <\/p>\n

    scientific research misconduct claims, institutional and agency investigations, qui tam cases, and due process violations (primarily those involving presentation of evidence) from the perspective of fraud investigation, databasing, and publication.<\/p>\n

      Evidentiary Audit and The Vetting Project<\/h3>\n

      In May 2022, we rolled out a project that we believe addresses a great need among the many people we have dealt with in prior years, including not only whistleblowers, but also litigants in the U.S., U.K. and beyond.<\/p>\n

      We call it The Vetting Project. It is based on our core work in evidentiary audit.<\/p>\n

      Many aggrieved whistleblowers, litigants, and others who have been involved in various forms of adjudication, feel cheated because the process ignored, or otherwise mishandled, the evidence they presented. In addition, judgments were frequently made upon insufficient evidence or against the evidence.<\/p>\n

      Upon suffering what they believe be serious injustice, the aggrieved often try to get redress by complaining online. However, claims by aggrieved persons are themselves sometimes unsupported by evidence, or if linked to evidence, it is too much material to expect most casual readers to examine.<\/p>\n

      Therefore, there is a need to have some third party attempt to certify the credibility of the claims of aggrieved parties. There is essentially no independent audit of the U.S. legal system, and legal misconduct claims to that system are almost entirely unsuccessful.<\/p>\n

      To try to remedy this situation, we work with aggrieved parties to assemble and review the evidence in their cases. We will then attempt to produce a report summarizing findings about various evidentiary points. Finally, we will, if appropriate, issue a brief statement and\/or rating as to what we believe about the merits of points within the case and whether we believe further review or other action would be warranted.<\/p>\n

          ENSURING DATA INTEGRITY IN AI-DRIVEN JUDICIAL REFORM<\/h2>\n

          Subject: Advocating for Comprehensive and Transparent Court Records to Support AI Judicial Reform<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

          AI has the potential to revolutionize legal transparency and accountability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

          However, from the experiences of our clients, we believe that a critical challenge<\/strong> that threatens the integrity of this effort is the widespread falsification and omission of documents in the court record<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          The Issue: Inaccurate and Manipulated Court Records<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Court records, as they currently exist, do not always provide a reliable foundation for AI-assisted judicial oversight.<\/p>\n

          Many judges and legal professionals manipulate transcripts and case documentation to fit predetermined outcomes<\/strong>, often at the expense of justice.<\/p>\n

          The principle of \u201cgarbage in, garbage out\u201d applies here\u2014if AI is trained on flawed, incomplete, or falsified data<\/strong>, it risks perpetuating rather than correcting systemic injustices.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          The Solution: Mandatory Comprehensive Court Recording<\/strong><\/p>\n

          To ensure the highest data integrity, we propose the following measures:<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          1. Mandatory Digital Recording of All Court Proceedings<\/strong><\/p>\n

          * Every statement made in court should be recorded digitally and made available to all parties, including (formerly) off-the-record discussions, sidebar conversations, and chambers conferences.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          2. Transparency in Judicial Communications<\/strong><\/p>\n

          * All emails, phone calls, and other communications between court officers, attorneys, and judges should be preserved, logged, and made accessible for auditing by professionals outside of the legal system. These records should be safeguarded against tampering and produced upon request.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          3. Audit Mechanisms for Court Data Integrity<\/strong><\/p>\n

          * Independent oversight should be established to verify the authenticity of court transcripts and recordings, ensuring the originals remain unaltered, and that personally identifiable information is effectively redacted for use in audit and machine functions.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          4. National Implementation for AI Readiness<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Federal, state, and local courts should adopt these reforms to create a robust and reliable dataset for AI training and judicial assessment.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          In addition to the preceding, other actions to improve the quality of court data made available to AI systems would be to require:<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          5. Explicit Weighting of all Evidence<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Promoting the use of explicit numerical weighting standards for all evidence produced in a case will assist the effectiveness of technical oversight by AI mechanisms.<\/p>\n

          Listing weighted evidence, with citations to the record, should also help counter widespread concerns by litigants that evidence is being largely or completely ignored.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          \n

          The Impact: A More Just and Reliable Legal System<\/strong><\/p>\n

          By advocating for complete and verifiable court records<\/strong>, we believe that we citizens can lay the foundation for AI-driven legal improvements that are truly just and transparent. These reforms would help prevent the manipulation of evidence and decisions<\/strong>, ensuring that AI-powered verdicts rely on factual and unaltered information<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

          A petition based on the preceding proposals can be found on Change.org as targeted to a prominent technologist involved in the use of AI in the judicial proceedings:\u00a0https:\/\/chng.it\/pKbjM4YtWc<\/a><\/p>\n
