About This Course
Implicit bias can influence decision-making, communication, and collaboration across all areas of the legal profession. This interactive CLE program is designed to help attorneys identify and understand the role of unconscious bias in legal settings—from hiring practices and team dynamics to client interactions and workplace culture.
The session will define implicit bias and explore its various forms, using real-world examples to highlight how it may show up in day-to-day legal practice. Participants will examine the broader consequences of bias on inclusion, performance, and retention within the profession.
To close, the program offers practical guidance and tools for recognizing and responding to implicit bias, along with resources to support continued awareness and positive change.
