CLE: Decisions and Diversity–How Our Minds and Experiences Sustain Bias and What to Do About It
Join us online from noon until 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 29 for "Decisions and Diversity–How Our Minds and Experiences Sustain Bias and What to Do About It." Making decisions is at the core of what lawyers do, yet we are often unaware of the ways that our brains, personalities, life experiences, and social structures affect our decision-making choices, often in the form of implicit biases, preferences, assumptions, and expectations that impede fostering a diverse and inclusive legal profession. Join us for this in-depth look at how we come to think about others, make judgement of people and situations, and otherwise think and behave in ways that are potentially influenced by bias. Designed with the transactional attorney in mind, this program discusses our interactions with clients, colleagues, and others in the legal profession, while also offering helpful strategies for addressing and preventing the undue influence of bias both in and out of the workplace.
This online program qualifies for 1.50 hours MCLE credit, including 1.50 hours Professionalism, Civility or Legal Ethics credit (subject to approval).
