About the Event

Social media sites have gained greater prevalence than email and are the next frontier for both discovery of electronic information and its presentation at trial. This program will address social media channels from several key perspectives for litigants: (1) understanding what social media channels are and what information they contain; (2) how do social media channels figure in the discovery process, as to the preservation, collection and production of the information they contain; (3) what have courts held regarding the admissibility of evidence from social media sites at trial; and (4) what types of policies and procedures should organizations adopt around social media tools to be well-positioned re: all of the above?
