Description
As lawyers and paralegals, you are expected to be from bias in your work and in your dealings with your clients and others. However, a growing body of research has shown that decisions are rarely free from bias and often impacted by factors outside of our awareness. This workshop aims to educate on bias, how it’s built into our brain, how it impacts our behaviour, and how to mitigate this impact. You will leave with a better understanding of the neurological underpinnings of bias, as well as strategies to maintain a courtroom that is as inclusive and just as possible.
