2-Hour Bias Package

What is implicit bias and how can it manifest in almost undetectable ways in all aspects of the legal profession? Our distinguished panelists have been on every side of the legal profession: attorney, mediator, and judicial officer. They will discuss two prevalent, yet covert ways implicit bias affects every sphere of the legal profession: microaggressions and gaslighting. They will provide real life examples from the legal profession and what we as attorneys can do better to move the legal profession forward.

As lawyers, we are looked to for sound, strategic advice by our clients. We are asked to solve complex issues and often must navigate heightened emotions from various parties while diligently advising our clients. In the session, you will learn how to have greater awareness of bias in decision making and how to interrupt bias before it negatively affects you and your client. Mindy Gulati will touch on the brain science of cognitive bias and dig into practical tips and tools for how to address bias as we navigate our ethical obligations to our clients.
