We carry around an invisible, and often times undetectable, list of preconceived notions regarding people and the world in which we practice. Those preconceived notions act silently to guide our interactions with our clients, their legal matters, the court, the jury and sometimes, the administration of justice. Join us for this thoughtful presentation of exactly what implicit bias is and how it can interfere with our ability to be our best selves as lawyers. Learn to recognize it and “add friction” to your own decision-making to work towards its elimination. Learn how the legal community may have its own preconceived notions of mental health difficulties and how that can discourage someone to get help when they need it. Learn how to set aside your own biases and become intentional about the way you talk about mental health. (Sarah MacGillis, presenting) Free registration.
