Description

Note that while the original presentation was bilingual, the powerpoint is available in both official languages, and the recording is available with either French or English captions.

This course is part of the Disclosure Project Management series offered by National eDiscovery and Litigation Support Services (NeDLSS). Disclosure Project Management is the eDiscovery framework adopted ‎by the Department of Justice.

The presenters provide an overview of issues related to Internet evidence, and its use in litigation. They describe the role of the Internet Evidence Team, and how they can help with the admissibility of Internet evidence in litigation. The last part of the course deals with the emergent issue of deepfake evidence created by artificial intelligence, something increasingly available on the Internet. Deepfakes provide unique evidentiary issues for the courts, and the presenters suggest some best practices.

Note that while the original presentation was bilingual, the powerpoint is available in both official languages, and the recording is available with either French or English captions.
