The Early Bar
How fit are our early bar (1 to 5 year post call) within the Common Weath African Bar to practice law in the 21st century digital environment?
With the amount of electronic data that traverse the digital eco-system, no 21st century lawyer is likely to succeed without knowledge of digital evidence and eDiscovery issues and their applicable methodology. A competent litigator must understand such electronic concepts of evidence in the digital domain and electronic discovery processes pertaining to document requests, production and analysis. He must also competently discuss technology-assisted review or predictive coding and defend the methods that their eDiscovery providers use. Above all, every lawyer needs basic knowledge of:
- How the Internet works;
- How computer systems, tools and storage functionality preserve digital evidence;
- How digital documents such as videos and biometric modalities are admitted in evidence;
- How eDiscovery processes are conducted;
- How digital forensic investigations are conducted;

- Understanding forensic expert evidence and a host of other electronic dynamics relevant to 21st century litigation.
