November 20 2018 via ConvergeBlog
The process of effectively using social media, both during the discovery phase of litigation and at trial, begins with obtaining information via requests for production, interrogatories, requests for admissions, depositions, etc. If used effectively, social media discovery can become an effective defense strategy that will withstand objections and scrutiny at trial.

Social media evidence is important information to explore, especially considering most people (Plaintiffs) tend to have no filter when it comes to posting information about: relationships with their family, romantic interests, employers, prior medical history, who has done them wrong, friends, lawyers, meals, and the list goes on. People also like to share their personal opinions on just about anything – Nike, Chic-Fil-A, NFL protests, etc.
