Computer forensics is a relatively new field of study.  Many of the conceptions that we hold about computer forensics are fiction learned from TV or the movies.  The training and certifications for computer forensic "experts" vary from company to company, agency to agency, and state to state.  Topics that will be covered include:

·         What is computer forensics and what are the true capabilities of an examination

·         How does computer forensics differ from e-Discovery? 

·         Information you should know if your case involves digital media.

·         Specific examples of where to find "the smoking gun".

·         Current and future issues in the computer forensics field.
