Solutions

Four ways evidence changes hands. One record that holds.

An evidence room, a solo litigator's exhibit binder, a corporate incident response, and a two-person forensics shop are doing the same thing — proving who held an item and that it has not changed since. They go about it differently, and they are asked about it differently. Each page below is written for one of them.
