Attorneys navigating today’s litigation landscape face growing challenges in identifying, preserving, and presenting digital evidence. From mobile devices and cloud repositories to social media, metadata, and deleted content, critical information often lies beneath the surface—and understanding how to uncover it can shape the outcome of a case. This session equips participants with the knowledge to recognize valuable sources of digital evidence, understand how artifacts and metadata support or contradict claims, and spot manipulated or misleading materials like screenshots or fake messages.
Attendees will gain clarity on the distinction between eDiscovery and digital forensics, including when to seek expert assistance and how to structure defensible preservation and production protocols. Practical examples and forensic insights illustrate how to avoid common pitfalls such as spoliation, overcollection, and improper authentication. Whether preparing for discovery, investigation, or expert testimony, legal professionals will leave with actionable strategies to strengthen their handling of electronic evidence—ensuring it serves as a powerful asset rather than a hidden risk.
