CONFERENCE REPORT
In the beautiful location of Tallinn, Estonia the ECBA’s Autumn conference looked at the question of ‘Defence in a digital context’ and provided us with the opportunity to discuss the legal, practical and technical challenges faced by lawyers in criminal defence practice. One of the more startling statistics that emerged during the day was that 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years. That alone emphasised how this topic is increasing in importance exponentially.
