Social media content has become a routine component of modern litigation but introducing that evidence at trial presents complex evidentiary challenges. This program examines the admissibility of social media evidence, with particular focus on authentication, hearsay, admissions of a party-opponent, and foundational requirements. The course also addresses discovery obligations, spoliation concerns, the Stored Communications Act, and practical methods for obtaining and preserving social media data. Through review of cases involving emails, text messages, and social networking sites, attendees will gain practical guidance on laying a proper foundation and avoiding evidentiary pitfalls when offering—or challenging—digital evidence.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify discovery obligations relating to social media.
2. Explain spoliation principles and the consequences of failing to preserve electronic evidence.
3. Analyze authentication requirements for emails, text messages, and social media posts.
4. Distinguish hearsay from non-hearsay uses of social media evidence.
5. Evaluate case law addressing admissibility of emails, texts, and social media profiles.
6. Develop practical strategies for laying foundation and challenging authenticity at trial.
