Scientists estimate that as much as 80% of our thoughts are unconscious and automatic. Unconscious attitudes and beliefs are shaped by all kinds of influences - some of which we wouldn't agree with or accept on a conscious level. Yet these unconscious thoughts leak into our decision-making and can have a profound impact in the workplace and the practice of law. Attend this webinar to learn how to recognize your own unconscious biases and concrete ways to interrupt those biases so you can make better decisions and serve your clients more effectively. You will also learn how unconscious, unintended bias plays out in the legal profession, which is the first step toward advancing diversity in the profession, and how all of this fits into new Model Rule 8.4(g) that addresses harassing or discriminatory lawyer misconduct.
