The rapid speed with which technology crime mutates and expands presents a critical challenge to criminal justice systems worldwide and Canada is no exception: where do you draw the legal line between free speech, privacy rights and criminal behaviour in a free world?

If you are a Crown, defence litigator, law enforcement professional, computer/forensic specialist or Judge, it is essential to be on top of the latest developments in this complex, rapidly changing area.


The Osgoode Professional Development National Symposium on Technology Crime and Electronic Evidence has developed into a lively national forum in which top players from throughout the criminal justice system share their valuable insights, practices and varied opinions. You’ll hear from an expert faculty of top Crown and defence litigators, experienced forensic investigators and special
guest speaker, Susan W. Brenner, Distinguished Professor of Law and Technology, University of Dayton School of Law, Dayton, Ohio. A renowned cybercrime scholar, Professor Brenner speaks internationally and writes extensively on cybercrime. She is a member of the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Forensic Science Technology Center Digital Evidence Project.

These experts will address key issues such as:

  • Disclosure of e-data gathered in a forensic investigation
  • How to effectively utilize a project management approach in computer forensic investigation
  • Technical and legal key search and seizure developments
  • How to prepare and present electronic evidence in Court
  • Cybercrime in 2010 and government responses
  • How to properly preserve the chain of custody of e-evidence and more

There will be time for your questions after each session. Don’t miss this opportunity to consult and learn from experts and your peers.


This event draws a large audience of Crowns, defence lawyers, police, judges, forensic investigators and others. Spaces fill quickly.
