Legal
The challenge
As cyber crime replaces physical crime and the everyday use of computers makes them a potential depository of evidence in court cases, the legal community is acquiring a much greater understanding of the potential and limitations of digital evidence.
Laws and judgements concerning digital evidence still tend to lag behind that of physical evidence, but as case law and experience have developed, the situation has become highly dynamic posing a challenge for lawyers to keep pace.
Laptops, hard drives, handheld devices, email contents and computer files play an increasing role in legal proceedings and digital evidence from some device or other probably now features in the majority of court cases.
