Ethics and Social Media Discovery

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed our profession into a virtual practice reliant on technology. This change affects how we engage in educational programs that enhance our legal expertise. The ABA Section of Litigation’s recently held Virtual Section Annual Conference provided a safe platform to learn from leading experts about pressing legal issues regarding trial advocacy and litigation strategy. With technology and social media driving the flow of information, the timely seminar “Trending Now More Than Ever: Social Media Ethics and Litigation” (May 5, 2020) discussed best litigation practices in the context of social media discovery.
