Forensic
Examination of Digital Evidence: A Guide for Law
Enforcement
Michael
Finnie, senior forensic examiner with Computer
Forensics Inc., recently participated in the Technical
Working Group for the Examination of Digital Evidence,
sponsored by the National Institute of Justice
(part of the U.S. Department of Justice). This
select group of computer forensic practitioners
met over a period of three years to develop this
comprehensive guide for law enforcement. Although
the guide, part two of a six part series, was
developed for law enforcement, the procedures,
techniques, and guidelines are equally applicable
to the collection and examination of digital evidence
in civil litigation. We commend Mike for his dedication
and commitment to this important project. For

of Digital Evidence: A Guide for Law Enforcement,”

Essentials of Electronic
Discovery: Finding and Using Cyber Evidence
by
Joan Feldman
Joan
Feldman, one of the pioneers in the now burgeoning
field of electronic discovery, has authored a
book explaining the basics of electronic discovery.
Ms. Feldman is also the founder and president
of Computer Forensics Inc.™, the Seattle-based
firm that is one of the nation’s leading
providers of computer discovery services for litigation.
“Essentials
of Electronic Discovery: Finding and Using Cyber
Evidence” provides litigators, business executives
and in-house counsel with a survey of foundation
issues related to electronic discovery, as well
as a practical exploration of how computer-based
evidence is gathered and used in the litigation
process.
The
book is designed to guide readers through the
maze of identifying, collecting and using electronic
data. No computer expertise is needed to read
the book and put its content to work.
"The
pursuit of electronic data, when managed well,
can be a cost-effective use of client resources,"
said Feldman. "The search for cyber evidence
is often erroneously perceived as a search for
a needle in a haystack, when in fact there are
some very basic maps that can be used to locate
valuable computer-based evidence.
