Course Materials

This CLE course will prepare counsel to meet the challenges involved in preserving and collecting social media data. The panel will discuss evolving case law developments and offer best practices for preserving ESI associated with social networking.

Description

Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and other social media sites in business communications pose unique e-discovery challenges. Most companies don't have the same level of control over social networking that they have over company email, so they aren't able to manage that data with internal document retention policies.

Companies that use social media for communication and marketing have a duty to preserve the data for actual or anticipated suits. While technology for capturing and preserving dynamic web pages is available, counsel to companies must understand how to leverage this technology.

Case law on the use of social media information in litigation continues to evolve and there is little guidance from the courts on the duty of preservation.

Listen as our authoritative panel of litigators and e-discovery specialists analyzes the interplay between social media and e-discovery and approaches for preserving and collecting data generated by social media sites.
