Background and Scope

Information technology has caused a new form of crime to emerge:
cybercrime. It is incurring an increasing cost on modern society and is
arguably threatening the stability of our economic system. Traditional
law enforcement approaches appear to struggle with this new development.
However, with new technologies also come new forms of criminal
investigation, like large-scale data analysis and police trojans for
covert surveillance. The effectiveness of such methods routinely raises
questions regarding their effects on the constitutional rights of
affected citizens. The inherent bounds of national law complicate
matters further.

The International Summer School on Cybercrime and Forensic Computing is
a one-week intensive course at the intersection of computer science and
criminal law. It provides students the opportunity to learn and gain
inspiration from world experts in digital forensics and criminal law.
The summer school aims at Master students in computer science, forensic
science, criminal justice, law or related subjects. It is not required
to bring specific prior knowledge. As an interdisciplinary summer
school, courses will be aimed at novices in the area.


Mock Trial

A signature event within this summer school is a mock trial in which
participants jointly solve a small case and defend it in court. The
trial will be held on the last day of the summer school in the same
court house where the famous Nürnberg war trials were held 1945-1946.
Presentations will be judged and winning teams will receive prizes.
