Summary

Defendants and defense experts routinely maintain public social media profiles that can directly contradict the testimony they offer in civil litigation. When identified early and used strategically, these digital records can become powerful tools in your case. This program is designed for experienced litigators who want to move beyond basic social media review and instead use online content affirmatively to shape depositions, expose credibility issues, and strengthen their overall case narrative.

Seth Cardeli will focus on advanced, practice-tested techniques for identifying meaningful social media evidence and using it effectively in deposition. You will learn how to incorporate social media content into questioning in a way that locks witnesses into admissions, withstands common defense objections, and positions the evidence for motion practice and trial.
