by Jonathan M.W.W. Chu
International Journal of Private Law (IJPL), Vol. 5, No. 3, 2012

Abstract: With the continued reliance by Courts, parties to litigation and law enforcement agencies on modern types of evidence such as digital and DNA evidence, it would be natural to be impressed that digital and DNA evidence are distinct from traditional documentary evidence due to their scientific nature. This paper explores the salient similarities and differences between these types of evidence to better understand the underlying nature of and use for digital, DNA, and traditional documentary evidence in legal proceedings.
