18 Digital Evidence & Elec. Signature L. Rev. [i] (2021)

handle is hein.journals/digiteeslr18 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITORIAL The Post Office Horizon scandal in the United Kingdom is one of the most serious legal scandals for many decades. Readers will be familiar with the scandal from the articles published in the Review 2020, and the articles published in this edition. The Post Office was able to act in the disgraceful way it did for two reasons: (i) the Post Office relied on the presumption that computers are reliable,' and (ii) the failure of judges to order appropriate disclosure. These are problems of the legal profession (judges and lawyers), and the failure of legal education.2 Will the legal profession ignore this? We do not know, but the prognosis is not good. © Stephen Mason and Allison Stanfield, 2021 1 For which see chapter 5 in Stephen Mason and Daniel Seng, editors, Electronic Evidence and Electronic Signatures (5th edn, Institute of Advanced Legal Studies for the SAS Humanities Digital Library, School of Advanced Study, University of London, 2021). 2 For which see the 2010 editorial, the free syllabus from 2013, and Denise H.
