Advanced Cybercrime and Electronic Evidence Training for Judges and Prosecutors
Advanced Cybercrime and Electronic Evidence Training for Judges and Prosecutors
This training builds upon the introductory training course for judges and prosecutors developed by the Council of Europe and the GLACY project. This training has been designed with intention to provide judges and prosecutors with an additional level of knowledge on cybercrime and electronic evidence and to allow them access to the enhanced levels of understanding and implementation of advanced techniques for legal analysis of presented evidence during the preparatory and main trial phase.
The aim of the course is to provide the knowledge and skills to allow judges and prosecutors to fulfill their roles relating to cybercrime investigation and trial. This course is designed to build upon the learning outcomes of the basic cybercrime training course for judges and prosecutors and should be attended only by those that have successfully completed that course.
The advanced training course is built in a way to enable judges and prosecutors that have passed through the introductory module to enhance their knowledge of the nature of cybercrime, the terms and the technology by dealing with a practical case scenario from the initial complaint, through the investigation and to the trial process, including trial as moot court exercise, including finalizing it with sufficient legal grounds and evidence for successful adjudication.
