Elimination of Bias Double Play: Advancing Diversity and Understanding Implicit Bias

In this installment of our Double Play series, our two, thirty-minute programs cover advancing diversity and understanding implicit bias. Why should you care about diversity and inclusion? This program gives you four good reasons why you should -- your company's culture, internal clients, legal talent, and performance of your team -- and offers advice on things you can start doing today to advance diversity and inclusion in your law department and company. We all have implicit biases, and these biases pose a challenge to our efforts to improve diversity and eliminate discrimination in the legal profession. This program identifies the most common ways implicit bias can affect the hiring, advancement and performance of lawyers, and provides practical guidance on what steps you can take to "de-bias" your company.
