The New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) Trials Lawyers Section Presents Making Sense of Cell Phone Data in Litigation: Technology, Law, and Strategy

Cell phones and digital devices have become some of the most powerful sources of evidence in modern litigation — but understanding what that data can and cannot prove is critical. From call detail records and cell site location information to app data, cloud records, and vehicle technology, attorneys must be prepared to evaluate, challenge, and effectively present digital evidence.

This program will provide litigators with a practical overview of how cellular evidence is generated, interpreted, and used in legal proceedings. Through real-world case examples and practical strategies, attendees will learn how to identify common misconceptions, recognize the limitations of digital evidence, and address issues involving reliability, admissibility, discovery, expert testimony, and cross-examination.
