Computer Crimes

Objective

This three-hour long webinar, which forms a part of a larger project on European Criminal Law for Defence Lawyers, focuses on computer crimes and practical matters in applying measures to counter it. 

It will explain and take a look at the current and future EU legislative framework, the Council of Europe’s Budapest Convention on Cybercrime and provide an analysis of the various forms of cybercrime. Using e-evidence to counter cybercrime will be explained and, within this context, its admissibility, access to it and handling in court and the defence’s role in challenging such evidence. Insights from practitioners familiar with these instruments will be shared.

Key topics

• EU current and future legislative framework on cybercrime, Council of Europe Budapest Convention on Cybercrime
