The cybercourt is seen as a way to speed up the court process. For example, travel would be reduced. Also, electronic document filing is fast, economical, and accurate, and it would eliminate the need to go to a courthouse to file a hard-copy document. In court, high-tech companies would not have to waste time explaining basic tech issues because judges would be familiar with the issues. Still, a cybercourt might not provide all of the answers.
Critics wonder if online proceedings can replace the experience of a physical courtroom.
They question how a cybercourt could not allow a judge or jury to physically examine evidence but instead make them accept a display, for instance, of a piece of hardware online. Also, critics note that the haphazard arbitration process that oversees domain-name disputes has already shown what happens when speed rather than quality has priority. Moreover, critics point out that most tech-related cases end up in federal court, while the cybercourt would be a state court. James R. Computer forensics deals with the extraction and preservation of electronic data that may provide clues in an event of a cybercrime. Specialists must use complicated software and have a thorough knowledge of how a computer works before they painstakingly weed through evidence.
