The program will focus on implicit bias based on gender identity, mental health, race and disability. This training will encourage reflection and continued dialogue about implicit bias, microaggressions and other forms of bias experienced in legal proceedings in and outside the courtroom. Developed for plaintiff and defense counsel, the training will include discussion of real-life scenarios to demonstrate both individual bias and systemic bias in courtroom and legal settings and the successful adoption of bias “interrupters” during such scenarios. The presentation will also include perspectives from the bench.
