About This Course

This course delves into the pervasive issue of implicit bias within the legal system, exploring how unconscious attitudes and stereotypes can significantly affect legal cases and judicial outcomes.

  • We will explore how implicit bias impacts various aspects of the legal system, including:
  • The impact on judges, lawyers, and jurors.
  • The influence on witness perception and testimony.
  • The effect on forensic evidence evaluation.
