Litigating in the Social Networking Era
With the recent explosion in the use of social networking, attorneys and litigants are quickly learning the risks and rewards of participating in social networking. In particular, recent cases demonstrate the utility to attorneys of considering social networks during discovery and, in some cases, discovery of information from social networking sites can make or break your case. Therefore, it is important for attorneys to understand how to utilize social networks when involved in litigation, both to discover information from their adversaries and to advise their clients of the potential risks of their own social networking use. This teleconference will help you understand how social networking can make or break your case. The teleconference will also teach you what you should know about the current state of the law concerning discovery from social networking users and sites, as well as evidentiary and ethical issues.
