Eliminating Bias - June 2, 7 or 30, 2023

 Eliminating Bias in the Legal Profession

Sponsored by LexisNexis 

The goal of this CLE presentation is to discuss bias and where it comes from; why it is harmful; how to detect it and how to eliminate it from our behavior as legal professionals. Practicing law is a bias landmine. From whether we believe a witness or opposing counsel; to how we counsel those in our organization we readily apply judgments to others — coloring our perceptions and thoughts. There is no cure for bias, but you can be more mindful, conscious and monitor your thoughts better. These are the four main questions we will answer in our discussion today: 

  • What is bias? 
  • What are unconscious and confirmation biases?
  • What are the effects and costs of bias? 
  • And, finally how can we avoid bias through thinking about our thinking and implementing best practices? 
As a result of attending this course, you will have a better understanding of the following: 
  • Obtain a better understanding of the types of biases.
  • An awareness of the effects and costs associated with bias.
  • The benefits of setting good policy and modeling best practices. 
  • Understanding your ethical obligations.
  • Gain insight to offer better legal and compliance counsel.

  • Breached! Cybersecurity 101 - June 5, 12, 19 or 27, 2023

    Breached! Cybersecurity 101 

    Sponsored by LexisNexis 

    With data security incidents and data breaches happening daily, it’s important for attorneys to turn towards one reality—it’s NOT IF a breach or incident will occur—it’s WHEN. These incidents are forcing government agencies, companies, law firms, etc. to address, define, and handle these challenges. As cloud technology and big-data analytics have become the norm, cybersecurity risks have increased and it is more important than ever to have both an avoidance and a response plan in place. During this 60-minute CLE session, we will cover (1) the latest security threats in the news and what’s being done to address/remedy them, (2) explore current data breach laws, (3) the roles and responsibilities of government agencies, and (4) how to prepare a data breach avoidance plan as well as a data breach response plan.
