• Metadata refers to the background information contained in an electronic file. This includes info about when the file was created, the edits made to it, by whom, when, and other vital information.
• A skilled attorney can use metadata to find the “smoking gun” in a case. For example, knowing the date and location a photo was taken, which is information often contained in the metadata of a photo file, might demonstrate a party’s knowledge or preclude that party from relying upon an alibi.
