The ADC-ICT will hold a series of  webinars on open source evidence in September 2023, conducted by experts in this field. Each webinar will be one hour and will include time for questions and answers with the presenters. 

​

Increasingly, open-source evidence is both is relied upon by all parties at trials, and used as a generic term of all manner of evidence. How can defence counsel and defence team members better understand what is meant by open-source evidence? What are basic practices and procedures which can be used to analyse this evidence? What are its advantages and limitations in the courtroom? How can we learn from past experiences and apply it to future cases?

 

The ADC-ICT Training Committee has put together a series of lectures meant to orient lawyers and assist in their use and exploitation of open-source evidence. The objective is to deliver a practical guide to these issues, to point out current and future legal issues, and reflect on how such evidence has been used heretofore.
