Digital Forensics
Independent findings. Understandable explanations.
Present the examination, evidence and opinions in a form that supports informed legal and organizational decisions.
01
Define the expert’s instructions.
Set out the technical questions, relevant assumptions and materials to be considered. Early scoping helps separate investigative assistance from an independent opinion intended for a proceeding.
02
Explain the method and reasoning.
A useful report connects the instructions to the work performed and the evidence relied on. It distinguishes observations from inference and states the limits of any conclusion.
03
Support informed review.
Discuss report format, deadlines and the support counsel needs to understand the technical material. Testimony and opinion work must remain within the expert’s qualifications and the requirements of the matter.
RELEVANT SOURCES
Start with what is available.
