Objective
As a result of online
investigations, almost all criminal courts are confronted with the
question of whether or not electronic evidence presented in criminal
proceedings is admissible. Rules governing the admissibility of
electronic evidence vary in the legal framework of different Member
States and are continuously challenged by the evolution of technological
devices such as computers, mobile phones and digital cameras.
This online seminar aims at promoting advanced
knowledge, exchange of experience and best practices between judges,
prosecutors and lawyers in private practice from EU Member States who
are dealing with online investigations. This will improve participants'
knowledge of the strategies and techniques used in different European
countries and will ultimately improve cross-border cooperation among
Member States’ authorities.
Key topics
- The foundations of electronic evidence
(direct and indirect evidence, primary and secondary evidence, ownership
of digital data)

evaluating digital data in the framework of legal proceedings
