HBA Implicit Bias Program
Thinking like a lawyer – explicitly and carefully reviewing the acts and the law – is the bedrock of legal professional success. But, everyone is influenced by our unconscious responses to the information we receive. To represent clients professionally and zealously in today’s world, lawyers must understand the impacts of implicit thinking in the legal context.
The purpose of this program is to provide awareness, suggested practice tips and techniques for navigating assumptions and implicit bias when negotiating, advocating, defending, mediating and interacting with clients and colleagues. These courses were developed as a practice-enhancement tool to help attorneys and legal professionals.
