Abstract

This article aims to show progress and main findings of the study were taken from a research project entitled « The use of electronic evidence in Colombia». Although many aspects of electronic evidence that have been said so far, the idea is to raise a specific position and on the assessment of what is now called the doctrine as electronic evidence. Emphasis is placed on the evaluation of evidence, because it is one of the great myths challenges facing both the academic community and the judges they consider to be outside whatever the process is contained in a novel means, as the mail. We show that the solution is closer than imagined, and that there is another background to understand the sense of procedural law institutions, and differentiate a traditional paper document their special characteristics side of the border of half test to another, as in the case of the expert. lt is part of budgets that have been seen and described as complex, but find solution when separating different aspects that are related to the test, such as legality, authenticity, veracity and efficiency, which in many cases has led to the community to confuse the management that this test should be given in a judicial proceeding.
