About This Course

Bias can influence employment decisions, even unintentionally. Any form of bias, even just perceived, can translate into legal action against a law firm. This CLE course will explain how bias can translate into legal causes of action and show how these lawsuits have affected certain law firms. Learn what to avoid, what actions to take, and how to make sure that our profession creates a fair and just playing field for all.
