Computer Forensics and Electronic Discovery Libraries

Welcome
Our goal is to assemble the most comprehensive collection of online resources concerning computer forensics and discovery of electronic evidence.  We thank the many contributors who have allowed us to archive their work on this site. 


Computer forensics is the identification, preservation, extraction, interpretation and presentation of computer-related evidence. With an estimated 93% of the world's data being created by computer, computer forensics and related issues offers signal challenges and opportunities to the 21st century law practice.

Studies indicate that a third of business documents created today never become paper records.  When you consider the explosion in e-mail and other electronic communication, it's likely that most smoking gun documents never get printed out. Discovery of electronic records raises daunting issues of cost, complexity, privacy and privilege, but that's where the evidence in all cases is rapidly and inexorably moving.

TIPS & TOPICS

Raging Debate: Who Should Pay for Digital Discovery?
New York Law Journal

The general rule in civil discovery is that each party pays its own document production costs. Recently, however, legal commentators and burdened parties have attempted to dislodge this rule, complaining that the enormous growth of digital communications has increased the amount of discoverable information to such a degree that civil discovery is no longer affordable. Is a reform of the producing-party-pays rule coming?
