Book review: Electronic Evidence, Second edition

The increasing relevance of electronic evidence for those of us who practice in litigation, arbitration, regulation and investigation has been clear for a number of years.

Electronic Evidence, Second edition
Author: Stephen Mason, Philip Argy, Derek Begg
Publisher: Butterworths Law; 2nd revised edition
(26 April 2010)
ISBN-13: 978-1405749121, Price: £174.94

However, many of us have not kept up with the pace of change. For example, it is still too often the case that opposing sets of solicitors in complex litigation fail to have meaningful discussions about electronic disclosure at the early stage of a dispute, resulting in the whole disclosure process becoming longer, more confusing and more costly than necessary. Now in its second edition, Electronic Evidence which seeks to inform us of (i) what it is; (ii) how to collect, store and analyse it; and (iii) how to best use it to persuade a court, tribunal or other party of our client’s point of view.

Stephen Mason has brought together an international team of contributors for the book; the second edition of which is apparently the only full text on the subject.
