Preserving & Exploiting Virtual Meeting & Social Media Data in Litigation

With the ubiquity of social media in society, what individuals post online is directly relevant and useful in any litigation. Indeed, it's borderline malpractice not to seek out this information at the very outset of cases. If you determine that an opposing party has destroyed social media posts (which you can discover by sending preservation of evidence demands early in a case) what can you do in discovery and at trial to use that spoliation of evidence to your client's advantage? Attorneys must be mindful also that seeking out social media data raises potential ethical issues, such as 'friending' someone who is a target of your search that you know is represented by counsel.

Join the experts for an insightful discussion on how to obtain social media data pre-trial, how to effectively use it at trial, and the potential ethical pitfalls of obtaining that information.
