Facebook, Myspace, The Joys/Dangers of Internet Social Networks and How to Use Them as a Litigation Tool (8/2011)
It seems like everyone these days has a darn Facebook page! What is with all these youngsters posting pictures of themselves on MySpace? Who wants to see strangers engaging in illegal activity, taking drugs, bragging about their exploits and making darn fools of themselves? You do!!!!! There is a bevy of great material out there to impeach snitches, lay witnesses, police officers and just about anyone who logged off the night before and showed up to testify against your client at trial the very next morning. An important look at the new frontier of Internet Social Networks and your next trial.
These presentations were recorded August 18-19, 2011, during the Multi-Track Seminar in Seattle, Washington.

The five tracks for 2011 in Seattle were: 1) Immigration with a focus on Padilla 2) Sentencing in a post-Bookerworld; 3) Experts, Forensics & Science; 4) Computer Crimes and Handling of Electronic Discovery; and 5) Drugs, Guns and Money. Tracks 1-4 were presented in four distinct hour-long time blocks. Those sessions were presented on Thursday, August 18, 2011 and then repeated on Friday, August 19, 2011.
