Digital Forensics for Legal Professionals provides you with a guide to digital technology forensics in plain English. In the authors’ years of experience in working with attorneys as digital forensics experts, common questions arise again and again: “What do I ask for?” “Is the evidence relevant?” “What does this item in the forensic report mean?” “What should I ask the other expert?” “What should I ask you?” “Can you explain that to a jury?” This book answers many of those questions in clear language that is understandable by non-technical people. With many illustrations and diagrams that will be usable in court, they explain technical concepts such as unallocated space, forensic copies, timeline artifacts and metadata in simple terms that make these concepts accessible to both attorneys and juries.
The authors also explain how to determine what evidence to ask for, evidence might be that could be discoverable, and the methods for getting to it including relevant subpoena and motion language. Additionally, this book provides an overview of the current state of digital forensics, the right way to select a qualified expert, what to expect from a qualified expert and how to properly use experts before and during trial.
- Includes a companion Web site with: courtroom illustrations, and examples of discovery motions
- Provides examples of direct and cross examination questions for digital evidence
- Contains a reference of definitions of digital forensic terms, relevant case law, and resources for the attorney

Free Digital Forensics for Legal Professionals: Understanding Digital Evidence From The Warrant To The Courtroom
One of the problems about getting free copies of something to review is that if your feedback is overly positive, it seems like you're shilling. Let me make it clear up front that I did receive a free copy of the book through Amazon Vines. With that said, I absolutely love this book.
The title is Digital Forensics for Legal Professionals "Understanding Digital Evidence from the Warrant to the Courtroom" but it's bordering on misnamed. It should read "Digital Forensics for Anyone who might have to deal with data-centric legal issues" (Yah, that's a crappy name too, but you get the idea).
The two authors, Larry E. Daniel and Lars E. Daniel clearly work in this area as their primary occupation (which is noteworthy b/c there are lots of forensics books by people who got exposed mainly through learning network diagnostics. The authors seem to come from the exact opposite perspective which is why the focus is on the legal aspects). They have several certifications specific to the field and have both worked as expert witnesses. The whole book is dripping with real world suggestions which is one thing that makes it such a good read.
As a slight digression, one would expect this book to be about the data gathering process and how to evaluate that data, and it is. But I mentioned it's 'dripping with real world suggestions' and here's what I mean. Section 2 (Chapters 7 -13) Deals exclusively with Expert Witnesses. Chapter 11 is fairly small, but it's a discussion of the "Approaches by Different Types of Examiners" Most lawyers aren't even familiar with digital evidence and there aren't a ton of digital forensic experts, so explaining the different approaches is very helpful. Chapter 12 goes into "Spotting a Problem Expert".
