Plenary: Let's Talk About Implicit Bias (qualifies for 1.2 ethics and 1.2 bias hours)


As former Missouri Bar president Dana Tippin Cutter said, “Implicit bias can be harmful, neutral, or protective. But we all bring unconscious, implicit bias to the table. The key is to talk about it in a safe environment.” This CLE will explore why bias occurs, how to identify it in our daily lives, and, most importantly, how to interrupt and unlearn biased thinking. 

Focus Points:
• Review common forms of implicit bias 
• Recognize how implicit bias impacts the practice of law 
• Practice strategies to recognize implicit bias in our lives
