Electronic Evidence
Last Updated Date:   8 July 2025


4 Units,  Semester 1

Course Description:
This course introduces students to electronic evidence, which covers every area of law. Most legal problems presented to lawyers now include an element of electronic evidence. It is incumbent on judges, lawyers and legal academics to be familiar with the topic in the service of justice. Electronic evidence is ubiquitous. Using an array of mobile technologies, people communicate regularly through social networking sites, e-mail and other virtual methods managed by organisations that are transnational. No area of human activity is free from the networked world - this also means no area of law is free from the effects of electronic evidence.
