Your clients can maximize social net-
work privacy settings and not post any-
thing about their cases. They should not
delete postings or deactivate accounts.
If you think opposing clients might
remove material from the web, Sparks v.
Dubé (2011 NBQB 40), a case Vail describes
as “probably the bible on this matter,”
enables counsel to conscript opposing
counsel to ensure preservation.
Archives, such as the Wayback Machine,
store much (but not all) of the web’s content and keeps it even after the owner
deletes the original version. It’s worth a
visit if you suspect information might have
been deleted.
If an action isn’t unethical in the “real
world,” it’s just as wrong online. However,
online behaviour that crosses the line, such as
friending an opposing litigant on Facebook,
may be very easy to do and difficult to detect.
“Many people accept others as Facebook
friends even if they don’t know who they
are,” says Vail, author of the report Stupid-
ity In E-Space: Social Networking Sites
And The Law. “To communicate directly
with the opposing client without counsel
present is unethical, whether you do it
using Facebook or email or just meeting
with them.”
Don’t be afraid to ask for help from
the search-savvy. Other lawyers have
approached Ha-Redeye for advice on
online research, and Vail calls on para-
legals at his firm. “I’m constantly amazed
at what they find,” he says.
Don’t limit searches to just what’s in this
article. The web is a huge mine of information, and this article is but an entrance
tunnel. If you learn of other promising
avenues, try them out.
From YouTube videos showing “
mobil-ity-impaired” insurance claimants dancing
to Foursquare profiles listing places a person frequents, the edge you seek could be a
click away. n
