About this course
In today's legal landscape, fostering a culture of inclusion and belonging is crucial for law firms seeking to thrive in a diverse society. This continuing legal education course provides lawyers with an opportunity to explore the different ways implicit bias and micro-aggressions manifest in law firm culture and equips them with the necessary tools to address these issues effectively.
Implicit bias refers to the unconscious attitudes, stereotypes, and prejudices that individuals hold, influencing their judgments and behaviors towards others. These biases can be rooted in factors such as race, gender, age, appearance, or other social categories. Surprisingly, implicit biases can occur even in individuals who explicitly endorse equality and fairness.
Drawing on notable legal cases and scholarly research, this course examines the impact of implicit bias within the legal profession. We explore significant cases, including Lewis v. City of Chicago (2010), United States v. Ferguson (2012), and Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. The Inclusive Communities Project, Inc. (2015), to understand the legal implications and considerations related to implicit bias.
By taking this course, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the negative effects of implicit bias and micro-aggressions on law firm culture, and learn practical ways to navigate these issues.
