Social media evidence is everywhere. In the digital age, law enforcement is savvy enough to pull information about your client’s online presence and use it against them in criminal proceedings. Getting this data and challenging it are skills every modern defense attorney needs.

Learn how social media evidence can and cannot be accessed, how it’s authenticated, and viable legal arguments to use and challenge it in your own cases.  The program is free, but registration is required.
