Cellphone Evidence at Trial: A Survey of the Accelerating Frequency of Cellphone Data

Learn how to effectively use cellphone evidence at trial and how to avoid issues with authentication.

Entities and employees are increasingly utilizing of technology in day-to-day business operations both for efficiency and convenience. With modern cellphones and smart devices having the capabilities of computers in the not-too-distant past, data compilation and extraction from these devices is more and more common during litigation. However, cell phones retain a cloud of privacy that other business devices do not, and state and federal laws dealing with cell phone evidence are behind the technology curve. For anyone who has a business, works for an entity (public or private), or who conducts activities by cell phone, this topic will explore the trends in utilizing cell data for litigation, how to get evidence in, how to protect data, and what policies to put in place to minimize the likelihood of costly data-extraction from cell phones. This information would be beneficial to human resources, attorneys, project managers, information technology managers, and of particular interest to those in the energy, natural gas, and critical infrastructure industries, as the use of cell technology in project execution has seen an enormous exposure to cell data used as evidence in litigation.
