Emoji Law Part 3: How to Handle Emojis in Your Case with David H. Thomas
Manage episode 345898452 series 2914752
Join Reminger Co., LPA and the Columbus Bar Association for a collaborative podcast series on emoji law. Emojis (from the Japanese e, “picture,” and moji, “character”) are an increasingly important way that we express ourselves. It is estimated that 2.3 trillion mobile messages have an emoji or two.
Though they can be cute and fun, emojis can also contribute to misinterpretations and misunderstandings. Disputes concerning emojis can arise in many different legal contexts and there are currently no court guidelines for how judges should handle or interpret them.
We will discuss this burgeoning legal issue with various stakeholders including social media influencers and members of the bench and bar.
In our third episode, Kenton Steele (Associate, Reminger Co., LPA) interviews David H. Thomas (Partner, Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP). Dave discusses the proliferation of less formal/digital communications in legal cases, including:
- Applying existing rules to help manage emojis in your civil and criminal cases
- How to assign meaning and relevancy to emojis to establish authenticity and admissibility
- Advice for attorneys to stay up to date on all types of digital communications
