Introduction (January 20, 2015)

4:01 AM Posted by Megan Stone 12 comments
Hello! My name is Megan Stone and I am a senior at BASIS Scottsdale Charter School. As a final project for our last trimester of high school, I, along with many other classmates, have elected to do a senior research project, which involves working at an internship for a minimum of 15 hours per week. Along with this internship, we must conduct research about the topic that we have chosen to investigate over a time period of ten weeks. After the ten week period of interning and researching data about our selected topic, we will be presenting our observations and other findings in a final presentation at the end of the trimester.

I have not always been interested in law; however, my interest grew significantly upon taking an Introduction to Law course at BASIS Scottsdale. In my senior research project, I will expose the dangers of the casual use of social media in family law. The truth is that people lie, including clients in family law cases, especially if their case is emotionally charged and family is on the line. Unfortunately for these clients, many of them may be overlooking what my come back to bite them. In many cases in modern family law practice, secrets or lies about a case may be revealed upon viewing their Facebook wall or their Twitter account. The underlying purpose behind my research will be to uncover what kinds of cases within family law are most often affected by information shared on social media, and then to examine the types of social media that most prevalently expose this information.
