This webinar from Lexbe Friday goes “way back” (😉) to show you how to find and use historical web evidence with the Wayback Machine!

This Friday, June 20th, Lexbe will host the webinar titled (wait for it!) Find and Use Historical Web Evidence with the Wayback Machine (available here) at 2pm ET (1pm CT, 11am PT). In this exclusive webinar, web archiving expert Nicholas Taylor (nullhandle.org) will guide you through the legal power of the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine (IAWM). You’ll learn how to access, analyze, and authenticate archived web content—and how courts have ruled on its admissibility in more than 450 federal cases. What You’ll Learn:

• How to navigate and extract records from the Wayback Machine
• Common mistakes that get IAWM evidence excluded—and how to avoid them
• Strategies for authentication: judicial notice, affidavits, expert testimony & more
• Case law trends: admissibility wins and pitfalls from real federal cases
• How to timestamp prior art, product claims, or terms of service online
• Tools to visualize changes to web pages over time
• How to use GenAI to analyze the evidence and build your case

Whether you’re investigating claims, validating trademarks, challenging prior art in patent cases, or establishing when web content was publicly available, this session will equip you with the knowledge to use historical web data as a strategic litigation asset.
