My Message About E-Discovery And Digital Forensics During My Annual Return To Law School

Thursday February 12, 2015 is a special day.  It is my yearly trip back to my alma matter, Seton Hall University School of Law, for my annual guest lecture / simulation on some of the complexities associated with the collection of evidence in today's technology driven digital environment for 2L and 3L students enrolled in the school's e-Discovery seminar course.

Each year I go back, I see a new crop of students enthused about the law, and ready to leave their mark on the practice.  I am not that much older than they are (or at least I like to think I am not), but their experiences with technology certainly have been different than mine.  For one thing, I can remember what it was like before everyone had high speed internet and a mobile phone  – let alone a smart phone.
