Extract from Kelly Twigger’s article “#CaseoftheWeek Episode 88: Requiring Production of Social Media Data in Native Format”
Episode 88 is an analysis of the decision by United States District Judge Christine P. O’Hearn in the matter of Williams v. First Student, Inc., 2022 WL 7534247 (D.N.J. 2022).
This decision is from October 13, 2022, and we’ll discuss whether a party is required to produce an Instagram account in native format to allow the receiving party to view the photos and videos relevant to the case.

Introduction
Good morning and welcome to Episode 88 of our Case of the Week series, published in partnership with ACEDS. My name is Kelly Twigger. I am the founder and CEO of eDiscovery Assistant, as well as the principal at ESI Attorneys. Thank you so much for joining me today.
Before we get started, there are three events coming up that I want you to know about in terms of education in the eDiscovery space. First — I think I mentioned this one last week — I’m incredibly honored to host Judges William Matthewman and Xavier Rodriguez on the Judicial Panel in what will be Part Three of the Midwest Webinar series on emojis, sponsored by multiple of the ACEDS chapters. That webinar is scheduled for November 30th at noon Eastern Time.
Second, I’ll be at the Georgetown Advanced eDiscovery Institute later this week, moderating a panel on Topics in eDiscovery. If you’re attending that in person or virtually, take a listen to our panel. The topics are going to be incredible. If you’re going to be there in person, please stop by and say hello.
