Michael, you’ve recently completed an MSc in Computer Science at the University of Pretoria. What made you choose this as a field of study?
I have been interested in Information Technology and Law for quite some time. I know that there needs to be critical development in the overlap between the two disciplines. I have completed both my LLb and BSc in Computer Science. Its application to digital forensics had developed significantly over the past few years and that seemed like the best place to start with my research. In South Africa digital forensics has been used to a limited extent in that examinations of evidence have been done, but up to now have had limited exposure in court. I would like to make meaningful contributions to the legal arena in this respect…
