About This Course
Regardless of what business you’re in, the issues of implicit bias, diversity and inclusion has impacted your business. When it comes to the practice of law, this means attracting, providing services to and retaining an increasingly diverse clientele. This CLE course will explain how implicit bias and the automatic associations individuals make between groups as well as stereotypes about those groups may result in micro-aggression – the outcome of that bias. The course will focus specifically on associations on the basis of gender, race, sexual orientation and religion and how these might influence professionals working in the law firm setting. The course will also explain the need for diversity education in the workplace and how it can serve to mitigate these issues.
