About this journal

Court & Screen is an online journal about law, evidence and life online. It is written for lawyers, investigators, HR and compliance professionals, students and anyone dealing with the legal side of social media.

Each issue pairs analysis from legal scholars and researchers, republished from The Conversation, with our own features on how social media content is preserved, authenticated and used in disputes.

Editorial standards

Republished analysis

We republish selected articles from The Conversation under its Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives license and republishing guidelines. We do not edit the text.

Our features

Features are written by the editors from primary sources: court rules, legislation, regulator guidance and published research, linked where they are cited. Products and services are described from their providers' own published information.

Not legal advice

Court & Screen explains the law in general terms. Rules differ between courts and countries. Get advice from a lawyer for your own matter.

Illustrations

Our engraving-style illustrations are created for Court & Screen with image-generation tools. They do not depict real people, cases or courtrooms.
