Speaker, Gibbons Eighth Annual E-Discovery Conference, "Hot Topics in Social Media - Evidence, Authentication, and Ethics," Florham Park, NJ

As more and more people document all aspects of their personal and professional lives on various social media platforms, and companies increasingly use social media as a marketing tool, the need to search for, capture, and use social media in an ethical and defensible manner in litigation is a growing concern. This panel will explore hot topics in social media, including the preservation and collection of social media evidence in a forensically sound and properly authenticated manner, and best practices for ensuring that searches for an adversary’s social media do not run afoul of ethics rules.
