Course Description

This course focuses on the critical role of digital evidence, particularly location data, in modern legal investigations. With digital evidence being a factor in approximately 90% of criminal cases, understanding its collection, interpretation, and legal implications is essential for legal professionals. Participants will explore the various types of location data generated by mobile devices, including GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell tower information, and learn how these data points can confirm timelines, establish alibis, or challenge claims in court. The course will also address the challenges of admissibility and reliability of such evidence, providing practical guidance on navigating these complexities in legal settings. Attendees will leave equipped with the knowledge to effectively utilize digital evidence in their practice and stay updated on recent legal developments in this rapidly evolving field.
