Readiness training. LEA.Training does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Lesson 1 (Electronic Evidence: Foundations) told you what electronic evidence is. This unit tells you what a court does with it. Courts in most countries ask the same few questions about any electronic record.
Focus: five questions a court asks, and four ways legal systems let you answer them. This unit is general knowledge. It is not legal advice.
Learning objectives
