-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Digital Evidence and the New Criminal Procedure Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2004 18:59:07 -0400 From: Orin Kerr <okerr@private> Reply-To: <okerr@private> To: <declan@private> Declan, A draft of a forthcoming essay of mine has just been posted, and I thought you and the Politech audience might be interested in taking a look. The essay is called "Digital Evidence and the New Criminal Procedure," and will be published in the January '05 issue of the Columbia Law Review. You can download the draft from this URL: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=594101 The essay studies the differences between traditional criminal investigations and investigations into computer-related crimes. It concludes that computer-related crimes will trigger new rules of criminal procedure in response to those differences. It's a fun and relatively short piece — at least by the standards of law reviews -- and should be of interest to anyone interested in how changing technology creates the need for changes in legal rules. I'm particularly interested in receiving comments on the paper from those with a better technical background than myself (which doesn't take much) about any errors or oversights on the tech side.
