	cRc - Din Torah - Halachic Arbitration
		A Din Torah begins with the plaintiff filing of an application to open a case for the Beth Din, outlining the charges to be heard.
		Where both parties do appear at a Din Torah, they are asked to sign a form which indicates their willingness to be bound by the decision rendered by the Beth Din.
		To assist the Beth Din in this goal, it is kindly requested that phone conversations and/or correspondence involving the Din Torah be kept as brief and infrequent as is reasonable under the circumstances.

	Beth din - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A beth din (בית דין, Hebrew: "house of judgment", plural battei din) is a rabbinical court of Judaism.
		In orthodox Judaism, a beth din needs to be made up of three adult Jewish males, at least one of whom needs to be widely knowledgeable in halakha (Jewish law), and must be sufficiently knowledgeable to instruct the other two members in any matters of halakha relevant to the case being heard.
		Religious conversion: a ger tzedek ("convert" or "proselyte") requires a beth din to be accepted into Judaism; it is convened to determine whether or not a prospective convert is sufficiently prepared to enter the "Covenant of Abraham" and to join the Jewish people.

	Beth midrash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Beth midrash (or Beit Midrash or Bais Medrash or Bais Medrish, Hebrew בית מדרש) (plural battei midrash) literally means a "House [of] Interpretation" or "House [of] Lecturing" or "House [of] Learning" in Hebrew.
		It may refer to a synagogue, yeshiva, or kollel, and refers specifically to the central "study hall" (and/or also to the "place of worship"), which is a place dedicated for Torah and Talmud study.
		While a beth midrash generally serves a community, it is also the physical abode of a yeshiva (college of higher Jewish study) and kollel (Torah study institute for married men).

		At this stage the mother consulted her Beth Din in London which sent a letter to the Israel Beth Din saying that the dispute should be resolved in London not in Israel.
		On 11 March the Israel Beth Din informed the mother that her submission that there should be rabbinical proceedings in England was rejected and served her with a fourth summons to attend the israel Beth Din, this time on 18 March 1996.
		If, as was not proved, the Beth Din proceedings related to the children, they do not disclose anything other than that the father, as his faith required, was seeking to secure the decision of his religious court in Israel as to the future of the children.

	A Rabbinical Divorce Ordered By The Civil Court - chapter 2
		Beth Din can be considered autonomous only if they are directly empowered to coerce either side to participate in the "get" procedure without requiring them to first take their case to civil court in order for the judge to see to it that a "get" is given.
		In such a case Beth Din does not award this property to the wife on the basis of the civil equitable distribution law.
		First of all if the Beth Din demanded that he give her a Get and he refuses to follow their instructions the Beth Din will not help him any further in his endeavors by giving him a letter to get the courts off his back.

		The document was never served upon the parties; according to the affidavits of two members of the Beth Din panel, it was an internal memorandum that merely reflected information imparted to the panel by the parties' advocates concerning their plan to implement the award.

		The Beth Din's reservation of jurisdiction concerned only potential disputes that might arise, not because of any indefiniteness in the award, but because of the nature of the assets in issue or because of the parties' intransigence.

		Even though normally, an Orthodox beit din requires a minimum of three Orthodox Jews, in new communities and exigencies, providing a thorough search has proved unfruitful, Halakhah requires that even one Orthodox Jew can establish a beit din since every community in Orthodox Judaism is required to establish its own beit din of Orthodox Jews.

	Jewish Law - Articles - Jewish Divorce and the Role of Beit Din (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		An important way in which the Beth Din of America facilitates gittin is to encourage the use of pre-nuptial agreements which (a) require the parties to submit to the Beth Din of America in the event of divorce, and (b) concretize the support obligation incumbent upon the husband while the marriage is still in existence.
		The Beth Din of America, for example, requires parties to enter into a legally binding arbitration agreement [sh’tar birurim] in accordance with New York law CPLR §75 and also presents the parties with a brochure of its Rules and Procedures prior to each hearing so that the parties are fully aware of their procedural rights.
		As a general rule, the Beth Din of America encourages divorcing spouses to resolve their differences through mediation (and employs the services of an experienced divorce mediator.) Through the mediation process, which is strongly encouraged by Jewish law, the parties can avoid much of the acrimony that often results from litigation.

		Rabbi Broyde is a member of the Beth Din of America, the rabbinical court affiliated with the Rabbinical Council of America, and was instrumental in rejuvenating that beit din during a one-year stint as its menahel.
		The Beth Din of America is available for all sorts of disputes (including, but not limited to, the ends of marriages).
		In this system (again ideally; today many to`anei and to`anot beit din help litigants phrase their claims in ways the judges can most accurately understand), there are not supposed to be lawyers— the disputants lay out their claims and the dayanim are supposed to ask enough questions to elicit all pertinent facts of the case.

	The Religion Report - 30 October 2002 - Melbourne Beth Din under reconstruction
		The Jewish High Court, or Beth Din, is the legal body that gives ruling on divorces, conversions and adoptions within the Orthodox community.
		And therefore, I think, in order to ensure also that the future Beth Din has not been tarnished in any way by any speculation or recriminations against its predecessor, it was felt more prudent that it basically be totally a new face, that has effectively no association with its previous.
		The Beth Din did provide some form of Kosher supervision, but because of the private institution it was run like a business, which meant in Victoria each rabbi virtually had his own Kosher supervisory business.

	A Rabbinical Divorce Ordered By The Civil Court - chapter 1
		Only a reliable Rabbinical court called Beth Din is allowed to validate a coerced "get" when the husband refuses to honor the "kesubah" by not supporting his wife or by not having marital relationship or when he is married to a woman forbidden to him, as with a "Cohen" married to a divorcee.
		Even if Beth Din ruled in favor of coercion, neither the Beth Din nor the wife may engage the secular court to punish the husband with the condition that if he gives the "get" the legal proceeding will be dropped.
		If however, the Beth Din ruled that the husband may be coerced into giving a "get" then he may also be tricked into giving the "get" and according to "halacha" they are not obligated to pay him after the "get" since he is flmailing his wife.
