Those reports dealt with the admissibility in USAfederal and state courts of printouts of document and data records that are stored digitally. The reportsgave performance guidelines and a self-assessment checklist to help ensure the admissibility andtrustworthiness of the printouts. In combining the material the portions dealing with problems in statelaws at that time and advocating changes to the laws were dropped, while the portions dealing withfundamental legal principles and expectations were consolidated. The three-part organization wasretained. Part I gives an overview of evidence law. Part II presents a performance guideline for the legalacceptance of records produced by IT systems. Part III offers a self-assessment for accomplishment ofthe performance guideline. Although the report is oriented heavily towards information recorded initiallyon paper and then entered into an IT system, much of the material applies also to system environmentsthat are entirely digital.
