In today’s litigation landscape, video evidence has become an increasingly powerful and pervasive tool. With the proliferation of smartphones, security cameras, dashcams, and even doorbell cameras, virtually every moment has the potential to be captured and preserved on video. The increasing prevalence of video evidence has fundamentally shifted how cases are built and presented, offering lawyers unparalleled ability to reconstruct events with clarity and precision. Understanding how to effectively obtain, analyze, authenticate, and present video evidence is no longer optional—it is an essential skill for the modern attorney. This presentation will explore the strategic and practical considerations of using video evidence in litigation. We will show a number of examples where video evidence was critical to cases we have handled.
