Abstract
Today’s perspective of the information society is characterized by the terminology
of modern dictionaries of globalization including the terms such as convergence,
digitization (media, technology and/or telecommunications) and mobility of people
or technology. Each word with progress, development, a positive sign of the rise
of the information society. On the other hand in a virtual environment traditional
evidence in judicial proceedings with the document on paper substrate, are becoming
electronic evidence, and their management processes and criteria for admissibility are
changing over traditional evidence. The rapid growth of computer data created new
opportunities and the growth of new forms of computing, and cyber crime, but also
the new ways of proof in court cases, which were unavailable just a few decades.
The authors of this paper describe new trends in the development of the
information society and the emergence of electronic evidence, with emphasis on the
impact of the development of computer crime on electronic evidence; the concept,
legal regulation and probative value of electronic evidence, and in particular of
electronic documents; and the issue of electronic evidence expertise and electronic
documents in court proceedings.
