The Kansas Paralegal Association is hosting a CLE Lunch-N-Learn through Zoom on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, from 12:00pm to 1:00pm CST.
TOPIC OVERVIEW: Our guest speaker, Peyton B. Engel with Hurley Burish, S.C. will be presenting on the topic: Diving Deeper into Digital Evidence.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES/OVERVIEW:
Every case involves digital evidence to one degree or another, but much of the time we treat electronic documents as being equivalent to their paper counterparts. There are fundamental differences, and they have implications for the way we collect evidence, how we analyze it, how we should handle it, and how we can use it in court.
This talk will focus on the technology of digital evidence, and the implications it has for us as members of the legal profession. Topics covered will include:
-
The life-cycle of digital evidence from collection to disposal
-
Technical wrinkles: recovery of deleted items, mobile device forensics, metadata, etc.
-
What do the rules of professional conduct permit, and what do they prohibit, with respect to digital evidence
-
Digital evidence in the courtroom: authentication, business records, and other open issues
This is not another e-discovery product demonstration or discussion of how AI will transform the legal field: it’s practical guidance to make those who work with digital evidence more effective, whether in criminal, civil, or in-house roles.
