Hypothetical: You're retained to review a case for a med-mal action in a distant state. Half way through reviewing the case you're like, "****, I think know who this is...He's in my "network" on FB, SDN, LinkedIn..."

What's your next move?

I wouldn’t do that to a SDN colleague. LinkedIn? Fire away.
