Session six

What does it mean to “think like a lawyer”? Many lawyers have worked hard to master legal principles, and we believe we’re considering problems with objectivity and using analytical skills to make decisions with our clients. But are we really? Substantial research supports the finding that unconscious or implicit bias influences decision-making – and lawyers are no exception. In this session, topics included:

  • What implicit bias is and how it affects the law and legal professionals
  • Ways to recognize implicit bias in common interactions and its impacts in the legal profession and legal system
  • How to combat implicit bias with research-based strategies to ensure a fairer profession and justice system
