How Social Media Plays a Role in Lawsuits | Law.com

Social media is not only causing lawsuits to be filed but is also affecting
the outcome of lawsuits.  Prior to Facebook and Twitter, when an attorney
engaged in discovery to prepare for a case, he/she would likely not even
think about engaging in e-discovery.  However, in 2014, almost all
attorneys preparing for a case will engage in some form of e-discovery.
Why? Because e-discovery now includes discoverable information found on
social media forums.

What is “discoverable” depends on the case.  Judges are not going to allow
a fishing expedition and allow attorneys to search the history of all
social media networks for every party.
