About This Course

Implicit biases, stemming from natural brain processes, influence everyone, including lawyers. Understanding these biases is crucial to anticipating and preventing legal risks.

In this CLE course, Professor Bruce Adelson will draw from his research at Georgetown University School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh School of Law to explore the impact of microaggressions and bias in the legal profession. Using real court cases and EEOC complaints, he will illustrate how such behaviors can lead to legal liabilities and negatively affect clients, patients, customers, and coworkers.

We will also examine the role of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in fostering productive and profitable workplaces and discuss the current challenges facing DEI initiatives. Professor Adelson will provide insights into responding to DEI lawsuits and federal investigations.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the origins and science of implicit bias.
  • Learn how to identify and mitigate legally problematic biases.
  • Explore the benefits of diverse and inclusive organizations.
  • Develop strategies for legal practice in addressing bias-related issues.
  • Analyze the current state of DEI and its challenges.
  • Join us to gain critical insights into implicit bias and its implications for legal practice and organizational success.
