How do you seize evidence that has no physical form? That is the challenge facing judicial officers whenever a crime moves online, and it is the starting point of this training course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy on the methods and procedures of judicial seizure under IT and internet law. Internet law — known as Cyberlaw — is a distinct body of legal rules that emerged separately from earlier terms like computer law; it exists to regulate internet and social-media use and to counter cybercrime.

Over the course, participants build the skills to investigate electronic crimes, apply seizure and inspection procedures specific to internet offences, and extract accurate information from online sources to support judicial seizure files.
