Ten Things You Need to Know as In-House Counsel

Posts offer general, practical advice for in-house counsel based on the author's 20-plus years of in-house experience, including two stints as general counsel. The blog takes one topic and then gives 10 things in-house counsel need to know about that topic.


Question of the Week

Are you able to be tracked electronically?

A man was charged earlier this month in the December 2015 murder of his wife after police were able to demonstrate through the timing of her Facebook postings and messages--and most notably, data from her Fitbit activity tracker--that his account of events on the day of her murder could not have been true.

This week, we'd like to ask you: Are you able to be tracked electronically? Do you have an activity tracker, like a Fitbit, that records your movements or sleep patterns? Do you use a "Find My Friends" app or something similar on your cellphone, allowing you and your family members or friends to track each other's locations? Do you check in at different locations on Facebook with your phone? If so, why do you like to record and/or share this information?
