How Attorneys and Judges Are Addressing New Tech – Part II

New technologies seem to appear on an almost daily basis. These technologies have — and invariably will — become the subject of litigation. The technologies will also become a focus of discovery and raise questions about admissibility. This session will examine how new technologies might “fit” into existing paradigms of the practice of law.  Our expert panel will examine highly automated, autonomous, and connected vehicle technologies, as well as biometric technologies, and some of the legal issues they have already presented, and are likely to present in the near future.  The panel will also discuss biometric technologies and how they are being used by private companies and governments, some of the objections and legal challenges to them, and cases addressing whether individuals can be compelled to use their biometric identifiers to unlock cellphones or other devices.
