A Framework to Analyze the Relevancy of Electronic Evidence

Abstract

For electronic evidence, its legal status has been admitted and the electronic evidence as a new form of evidence in law has been specified clearly. Currently relatively little electronic evidence has been adopted in the court because of multiplicity, concealment and frangibility of electronic evidence, which is considered by the courts to be of a complexity that is beyond the understanding of general judge and it is usually questionable in the courts because of their relevancy. In this paper, we put forward a framework to analyze the relevancy of electronic evidence, and discussed their analytical methods to guild the judicial practice.
