In the legal world, as a microcosm of larger society, there is heavy focus these days on the discovery of electronically stored materials as information supportive of claims or defenses in a case, or otherwise informative during investigations. Primer for an Evolving eWorld provides readers with a condensed and to-the-point reference guide on the major components of eDiscovery, social media and ethical considerations.

The publication provides an introduction to what electronic discovery is, discusses the Cloud, the legal implications of social media and online activity, and ethical considerations when it comes to social media and attorneys, jurors, and judges.

In addition, the publication examines hot topics such as societal concerns that arise in law regarding teens and social media and text messages sent to drivers of vehicles.

Finally, the publication addresses the authentication of electronic evidence if introduced at trial and examines what happens to electronic accounts when the owner passes away. Designed to be used as a hand-held reference guide, Primer for an Evolving eWorld examines both New York and federal law, rules and case decisions from federal trial and appellate courses across the nation. In addition, to gauge comprehension, it is bundled with the KHQ, an online quizzing app on iTunes and Google Play Stores. It is a perfect attorney desk reference, litigation bag supplement, corporate in-house counsel library resource, judicial bench book, paralegal research guide, informational text for business managers or clients, textbook for educators (high school, college, business or law school) or as a resource for self-represented litigants or the general public.
