In this eye-opening program, legal humorist Sean Carter uses scientific studies, video demonstrations and personal anecdotes from his decade as a black lawyer to illustrate how lawyers (himself included) form racial, gender, and other biases; and how they are seldom the result of animus or hatred, but rather the result of our brain’s pattern recognition “firmware.” Furthermore, he demonstrates how these biases affect our decisions with regards to hiring, evaluating and employing women and lawyers of color, communicating with clients, and making a myriad of other decisions. And finally, Mr. Carter will provide some tips for how to recognize our own biases and to negate their effects, so that we can make fairer (and better) decisions for our legal organizations and our clients.
