GREELEY, Colo. - ColoradoDesk -- Photographic Evidence in Discovery was developed to assist attorneys, paralegals, and investigators with the issues we have found in receiving photographs in discovery. Some are from law enforcement or prosecution, others from the client. We hope this curriculum will help you - in fact, we know it will. To follow along for notes, the full PDF handout of this PPT is available here for download, and your Certificate of Completion is automatically generated and available for download upon completion.

The handout will also help in confirming photographs in discovery received, keeping accurate photographic files, and sending photographs to experts as part of their consultation. This can also be used to adapt a uniform office policy. Suggestions for developing office policies and procedures, and a second for discovery-disclosure policies, are also available for download.

There are three primary issues we regularly see with photographic evidence in discovery:
1. Printed hardcopies sent for review;
2. PDF files sent for review; and
3. Renamed files sent for review.

Each of these have these faults, and some considerations. This course will walk you through the issues, best practices, and review process.
