Books
Many lawyers in all areas of law are now required, as part of their daily work-load, to assess digital evidence and to brief digital evidence specialists in preparing for litigation. In addition, judges are increasingly required to assess digital evidence in legal proceedings. Digital evidence is now the most important aspect of evidence in legal proceedings, and the books set out below aim to improve the knowledge of lawyers and judges.
