This is a world rapidly changing with the new laws and regulations coming to play every day. With the new developments like Block Chain and AI, the legal industry is fast moving to tackle the legal disputes that may arise in the early stage. Although the DNA is not a very new concept, the developments surrounding the use and effectiveness of DNA can support the legal industry as well. For many years, the legal industry, especially the criminal law has benefited from DNA technology to find criminals during the Trials.

Now as a further development, the law and enforcement are considering to use the DNA for further legal matters. The USA, in particular, considering to use the DNA for the licensing, to find someone who is missing, for the death certificate and to share with the other government agencies. So the DNA will be kept as data and the officials can use the same according to the requirements. Arizona could be one of the first states to establish this in the future and maintain a huge database. However, the law is yet to pass and already there are many questions raised about the legality of this data and the use of the same. This development could one of the greatest achievement as the data can be used for many purposes including the criminal investigations and identifications.
