Decision-making is at the core of what lawyers do, and yet we are often unaware of the ways that our brains, personalities, life experiences, and social structures affect our decision-making inside and outside of work, often in the form of implicit biases, preferences, assumptions, and expectations that impede fostering a diverse and inclusive legal profession. This session will foster a better understanding of how we think about others, make judgments of people and situations, and otherwise think and behave in ways that are potentially influenced by bias. We will discuss the specific decision-making situations faced by attorneys in their interactions with clients, their colleagues, and the legal profession, as well as helpful strategies for addressing and preventing the undue influence of biases, assumptions, and expectations on decisions.
