(PHILADELPHIA, PA) On Friday, October 19, Philadelphia personal injury lawyer Dean Weitzman of MyPhillyLawyer – will present a continuing education seminar to the Pennsylvania Association of Paralegals (PAP) on the influence of social media on litigation and trial strategy.

As social media – such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and G+, among others – have seemingly become a part of everyday life, their impact on the courtroom cannot be overlooked.

• What to expect from defense attorneys and insurance companies who seek access to an injured person’s social media accounts
• What steps a personal injury plaintiff can take to protect their social media accounts during litigation
