Conservative Judaism
The view of Conservative Judaism, like Orthodox Judaism, is something that is not entirely defined. There are different shades, and their right wing is almost Orthodox (make a fuss about the left wing of Orthodoxy), except for differences in nuances (sitting together in a synagogue, etc.). Therefore, it is not worth engaging in general characterizations of a group or movement, but rather each idea should be examined on its own merits.
Asks:
Do you think a conversion in a Conservative court is a valid conversion? Additionally, are Conservatives qualified to testify?
— On this in general. Each case is unique. It depends on who sits in the court, and whether he is worthy and qualified to judge. The same is true regarding testimony.
If you are asking about being disqualified simply because they are identified as Conservatives, in my opinion this does not disqualify anyone. As I wrote, the conservatives on the far right are Orthodox who are to the right of the far left of Orthodoxy.
— Should we check the kashrut of the judges or witnesses before we trust them? Or can we assume kashrut in the case of Conservatives?
— Yes. I don't know this public well enough, but to assume a presumption of kosher regarding them is excessive.
