He will address different types of electronic data, apps, and spyware and the ways they come up as evidence in a divorce case.

You can also expect Jerry to talk about various ethical implications surrounding the use of smart phones, apps and spyware in divorce. As a few examples, Jerry will address the attorney-client privilege and how that relates to evidence acquired from smart phones, the danger of spoliation of evidence on smart phones (e.g. deleting information), and the wiretap statute.
