Product Description

Join an expert faculty for a full day of updates, in-depth dives, and networking. Starting with a networking breakfast, learn about what new and not-so-new evidence is out there. Hear from investigators on how they uncover the evidence, then from practiced attorneys who guide you through Rule 17 as well as Lampron/Dwyer Motions. Finally, what good is all of that evidence if you can’t get it before a jury? Step-by-step admissibility analysis is needed for each piece of evidence—plus you need to know how to keep out evidence that hurts your case.

From cell towers to video surveillance to social media and other digital discovery, there is a lot of information out there that can be integral to a fact finder—but only if it is found, preserved, and presented effectively. How can you get Facebook^®/Snapchat^®/ Instagram^® records when the companies aren’t local? What can be done with videos to enhance the picture?

Join us for a full day that helps you succeed at your next trial!
