4:00pm to 5:30pm (15 Extra minutes)
In its eighth year, this panel will give practitioners invaluable insight into implicit bias, as well as a forum to explore this timely and sensitive issue. The session will illuminate such biases, discuss the hidden financial disincentives of such biases, and, through “transformative learning,” provide strategies for how to take control, to the benefit of your practice, of your professional relationships and your organization. The ABA Model Rule 8.4(g) regarding anti-discrimination will be reviewed, as well as the National Association of Bond Lawyers’ Diversity Initiative. It is highly recommended that participants take any one (or more) of the Implicit Association Tests at (https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html) as a companion to this panel and the associated materials.
Any attendee with bar admission in the states of Florida, Ohio, or Oklahoma will receive general credit for this course and not ethics credit in those states.
