Aims & Scope

The Digital Evidence and Electronic Signature Law Review (DEESLR) brings articles, legal developments and case reports to academics, practitioners and the industry in relation to digital evidence and electronic signatures from across the world.

The Review also seeks to include reports on technical advances and book reviews, and is published once a year, in October/November, although we publish articles throughout the year once they are accepted for publication.
