ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

If you have ever represented, lived with, or encountered a teenager you know that social media, cell phones, and texting are their predominant methods of communication. Information and data retrieved from each of these methods of communication have increasingly been utilized in juvenile courts across the country. Practitioners and judges of juvenile courts must be aware and knowledgeable about all aspects of social media, cell phones, and texting. What are the various sources of social media and how do they work?

What data and information can reliably be retrieved from a cell phone, from a text message or from a posting on a social media site? How do you get such data and information into evidence in court? How do you keep it out? How relevant, prejudicial or probative is this information and data? This conference will address these issues and many others pertaining to teens, social media, cell phones, and texting.
