Objective
As 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 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
- Technical issues (internet caches, proxy servers, encryption, deep/dark web, etc.)
- Legal implications of e-evidence (collection, evaluation and admissibility)
- Impact of electronic evidence on criminal proceedings
- Insights into different national EU criminal justice systems regarding the handling of e-evidence in court
