Colloquium On Digital Evidence
In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, the legal profession faces an increasingly complex challenge: the admissibility of digital and electronic evidence in courts. The Nigerian judicial system, like many others worldwide, grapples with inconsistencies in interpreting and applying laws pertaining to this digital domain.
The rise of digital evidence presents Nigerian courts with a myriad of challenges. The legal landscape is shifting rapidly as technologies advance, leaving courts to navigate a maze of forms, norms, storms, and worms when dealing with electronic evidence. It is imperative that the legal profession find a path through this maze, ensuring the proper and just use of digital evidence in litigation.
How can the profession chart a path through the maze of forms, norms, storms, and worms that mess up electronic evidence?
Colloquium on Digital Evidence will assemble experts from bench and bar to provide guidance on this thorny subject. This 2-day program will be immersive, intensive, and interactive.
