Coming today to TechnoFeature: An admission or other material on a Web page can serve as important evidence or help you impeach a witness. But people — especially the unethical variety — can easily change or delete Web pages. Also, the hard drive that houses a Web page can fail. Therefore, you should act quickly and capture Web evidence as soon as possible. But if you don't capture it correctly, you may find yourself unable to authenticate it in court. In this TechnoFeature, Web evidence collection expert Paul Easton explains the four steps involved in properly collecting and preserving Web evidence as well as software tools that can make these tasks easier. He also discusses an alternative method that takes much less time. Sooner or later virtually every litigator will need Web evidence for a particular case so every litigator should learn how to collect it in a defensible manner.
