Cyber Forensics and the Legal System
Jr., Albert, Robert S. Marcella, Greenfield · Auerbach Publications eBooks · 2002
This chapter was developed to assist the reader in understanding and identifying where there may be problems in handling information to build a case, whether that information is committed to paper, recorded on electronic media, or retained in a person’s memory. If you find yourself involved in litigation, work with the attorney as much as you need to be comfortable with the intersection of the IT world and the law. The information here should provide some perspective on that intersection and also provide some basic legal vocabulary so you can feel more comfortable from the outset. Learn from the illustrations provided herein, and adapt them to situations as they arise in your work.
