Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A chain of custody lists the steps taken to ensure evidence is properly collected and preserved, and possession is properly documented. It is a chronological record of individuals who have had physical possession of the evidence from the time it was obtained until the time it is introduced as evidence in court. An evidence log may also be used to track the location of evidence, but it does not necessarily document possession by individuals. A privilege log is a list of documents that a party is withholding from discovery due to privilege. A chain of evidence is not a commonly used term in the legal or law enforcement fields.
