In today’s digital-first world, online content has become a powerful source of evidence, but capturing it correctly is far from straightforward. From fast-disappearing social media posts to complex, multimedia web pages, legal teams must ensure the evidence they collect is defensible, authenticated, and admissible.
In this joint session, Nextpoint and Page Vault bring together leading experts to break down the proven methods, tools, and workflows that keep your case on track and your online evidence standing strong in court.
Modern litigation is increasingly shaped by online content—tweets, TikToks, Facebook posts, website updates, full video captures, and even archives from the Wayback Machine. But with this shift comes new risk. Simple screenshots and “print-to-PDF” methods can fail to preserve metadata, lack proper context, or create authentication challenges that open the door for disputes.
This webinar replay dives into the essential best practices for defensibly collecting online and social media evidence. Our panel of industry experts—Brett Burney (eLaw Evangelist, Nextpoint), Alex Sappington (CEO, Page Vault), and Duane Lites (Litigation Support, Jackson Walker)—walk through real-world challenges and the practical steps required to build a seamless workflow from collection through review and production.
You’ll learn how to:
- Recognize the risks and limitations of screenshots and basic PDFs as evidence
- Preserve metadata, timestamps, and context to support defensibility
- Incorporate purpose-built collection tools into your broader eDiscovery workflows
- Ensure that web and social media content is authenticated, admissible, and able to withstand court challenges
Whether you’re part of a litigation team, eDiscovery group, or IT/legal ops function, this replay provides the foundational knowledge you need to confidently collect and produce digital evidence in a rapidly evolving online landscape.
