	MyJewishLearning.com - Lifecycle: The Beit Din, or Rabbinic Court
		The entire process was placed in the hands of the beit din--"according to how the eyes of the beit din view it." The evaluation of the candidate's sincerity, the testing of his or her knowledge, the assessment of potential for success in becoming a Jew all were entrusted to the judgment of the court.
		The beit din's latitude was historically and halakhically required simply because the door to gentile conversions had to be kept open, the system of conversion had to be available in every generation and in every corner of the worldwide dispersion of the Jews.
		The questions the beit din will ask are designed to determine the sincerity of the convert and the likelihood of religious observance, and whether the degree of knowledge he or she has accumulated will be adequate to the observance of the mitzvot.

	Rabbinical Council of America (RCA)
		Regional Jerusalem Beit Din sends a clarification to RCA stating that if, in the opinion of the RCA, nothing is being done to harm the office and position of Mordecai Tendler in the RCA, then it should be considered as if the Beit Din has made no statement.
		The notice of the Beit Din is signed by the secretary of the Beit Din in the name of only one dayan, continuing an inconsistent pattern of sometimes no dayan signing, one dayan signing, a secretary signing, printed names without signatures, etc. It is not clear who exactly is issuing these decisions.
		Therefore it had the halachic status of a Beit Din, and is in fact consistently referred to in the RCA Constitution as a Beit Din Hakavod.

	Parshat B'reishit 5767 - Special Features - OU.ORG
		The Talmud derives its holding that a court may not consist of an even number of judges from the verse “to incline after a majority to wrest judgment” (Sh'mot 23:2) This indicates that a court must always contain the possibility of a majority vote in the event of a difference of opinion among the judges.
		The variety of jurisdictional powers which are granted to the Beit Din are enumerated in the first three Mishnayot of T. Sanhedrin.
		Almost all of the cases over which the Beit Din has jurisdiction pursuant to its judicial functions deal with money matters, since that is the medium through which the court’s judgment is executed.

		If Simon says no, the beit din may issue a contempt order against him, which would typically be accompanied by official permission for Reuben to take the matter to a civil court.
		Assuming that Simon and Reuben do agree upon a beit din in which to resolve their dispute, they then enter into a binding arbitration agreement, thus vesting the rabbinical court with the powers of a secular arbitration panel.
		Thus a beit din must either comply with the requirements of secular law or arrange for the parties to waive the right to have the dispute enforced by secular law.

	The Jewish Journal Of Greater Los Angeles
		The sponsoring rabbi — a rabbi of the convert’s own choosing — is a unique element of the pluralistic beit din, said Rabbi Dan Shevitz, the av beit din, or the head of the religious court, and the leader of Temple Mishkon Tephilo in Venice.
		In terms of standards, the pluralistic Bet Din is situated somewhere between Reform and Conservative: On the one hand, it requires immersion and circumcision (not all Reform conversions do) but on the other hand, it teaches about the mitzvot rather than requiring an advance commitment to observing them, such as in the Conservative movement.
		Ultimately, the convert must sign the beit din’s Declaration of Jewish Commitment, which includes accepting the Torah, renouncing the worship of “any one or any thing other than the God of Israel,” repudiating allegiances to all other religious faiths and practices and establishing a Jewish home, including raising future children as Jewish.

	The School of Shammai
		He was the Av Beit Din (head of the Sanhedrin) and is listed in Avot as being, along with Hillel, part of the fifth and final of the "pairs," a succession of princes and heads of the Sanhedrin that formed a vital link in the chain of tradition during that time.
		As already noted, Shammai was the Av Beit Din, the legal leader of Judaism during his time.
		By contrast, when the Av Beit Din would enter, two rows were made by the people for him to pass through, after which point everyone would return to his seat.

	Maharal on Avot Perek 1 Mishna 14-15
		As a claim about how events naturally occurred, it seems odd that for several generations, the man who occupied the position of av beit din was more interested in yir’ah, while the man who occupied the position of nasi was more interested in ahavah.
		He was not claiming that the av beit din always wanted to focus on yir’ah; he was claiming that it was the av beit din’s job to focus on yir’ah.
		That was only reasonable, however, if there was someone else—the av beit din—insuring that Jews were also being reminded of their fundamental responsibilities, and the emotional experience that guaranteed they would not only reach for the heights, but would also live up to minimum standards.

		According to the Rambam, a Beit Din must assign Shotrim, officials, officers of the law, to patrol gardens and orchards during festivals and warn the population against transgressing the law through too much rejoicing.
		A third connection between the two Parshiot is offered by the Ba'al HaTurim: Since the Beit Din was responsible for designating the exact time that each festival was to occur, the Parsha dealing with the judges of the courts directly follows the laws of the festivals.
		A Beit Din of three in which one member is a proselyte is considered invalid.
