Moderated by Andrew H. Friedman of Helmer Friedman LLP, Tracey and Erin will discuss “Me Too” evidence – what is it, how does the plaintiff employment attorney discover it, and how does the employment defense attorney prevent the plaintiff employment attorney from discovering (i.e., using “relevance,”“not reasonably calculated,” right to privacy, and confidentiality provision arguments). The speakers will also talk not only about the discovery of social media posts and the role of privacy but also discovery of other electronic communications (including text messages, telephone calls, and the contents of hard-drives). Tracey and Erin will debate the scope of the defense mental examinations (or, as Tracey will call it – independent mental examinations). Finally, the speakers will also discuss whether questions about immigration status are ever permissible.
