Is there any advantage to having my computer data processed electronically, rather than providing it on paper for evidence purposes?
Yes. Documents in electronic form are far more discovery-friendly, can be searched by using keywords and contain additional information about when the document was created, modified and accessed. Electronic documents also are significantly less expensive to duplicate than paper and can be shared over the Internet. Other advantages include the ability to lock documents to protect them from alteration, and the ability to authenticate a documents identity using a digital signature.
