We live in a digital world. Almost every human interaction that may end up in a dispute that goes to court is likely to involve, to some degree, digital devices or media, whether smart phones, tablets, laptops, social media sites, websites, email, text messages, snap chats, instagrams or YouTube postings. With the digital explosion, lawyers and courts have to understand the evidentiary rules that drive whether this important evidence can be admitted. This program provides a comprehensive overview of the evidentiary issues that must be addressed when planning how to admit, or exclude, digital evidence.
