100% OFF-Justice Matters War Stories of a Computer Forensics Expert
Justice Matters War Stories of a Computer Forensics Expert, Digital evidence from computing devices is increasingly relied on in legal trial, yet it is liable to misinterpretation.
Course Description
These presentations are for the benefit of members of the legal fraternity who have been overcome with digital or computer-based evidence because of a lack of understanding its complex characteristics. Many legal processes have resulted in unjust outcomes because of a failure by the legal fraternity to identify digital evidence provided to them by investigators. There is a noticeable trend towards using non-digital forensic investigators to collect and sometimes misinterpret digital evidence with undue care and a lack of professional skills.
These vignettes or ‘war stories’ are based on real cases and highlight some of the pitfalls facing both the legal fraternity and investigators as well as forensic examiners. The objective of the course is to develop a greater awareness of these challenges and engender some discussion and action to overcome them. Investigators may also enjoy the presentations and appreciate the need to further develop their own analytical and communications skills.
If you have enjoyed and found these war stories interesting you may wish to consider in enrolling in the associated short course “Why can’t we enhance understanding of digital forensic for legal practitioners? I will launch the course in January 2025 so please watch this space. Warm wishes to you all for the festive season and for 2025!
