One of the challenges in the practice of law is interaction between people who are different from each other in various ways. Even the simplest of encounters can leave people feeling confused, frustrated, offended, or (worst of all) seriously hurt—even when everyone involved began with the best of intentions. It is imperative that lawyers and other legal professionals learn to identify their blind spots in this tricky area.

This presentation explores cross-cultural interactions and the ways that so-called “implicit” or unconscious biases that we all have can affect how we interact with each other. It further considers the ways that implicit biases may show up, the impact they can have, the sources from which they arise, and best practices for mitigating their effects.
