Mark Salah Morgan, Maureen C. Pavely and Michael L. Fialkoff
authored an article, "Authenticating Social Media Evidence in NJ
Courts," which was published by the New Jersey Law
Journal. In the article, they discuss the standards in New
Jersey courts for authenticating social media evidence under state
and federal Evidence Rule 901. They note that "in New Jersey,
there is no unique hurdle to authenticating social media
evidence." They explain that the "low burden" to
authenticate social media evidence in New Jersey "is in stark
contrast to several states which have turned the authentication of
social media evidence into a time-consuming odyssey."
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
