This program will introduce lawyers to the most recent research on the issue of implicit bias.  The first half of the presentation will be spent talking about how our brain processes information and how researchers have determined implicit bias exists.  The second half will address how implicit bias is currently being discussed in several areas of law from criminal-prosecution and defense, to employment law, health care law, and property law to name a few.
