To date, much of the dialogue around bias within the legal profession has focused on how to interrupt our hardwired tendency to favour some over others, but we have been missing a key aspect of this discussion – what should lawyers do when they are on the receiving end of bias?

We encourage you to invite women and diverse lawyers to join you in attending this DIL workshop. We will dig deep on this thorny issue and explore:

• how to pinpoint the bias and blindspots you’re experiencing
• “stereotype effect” and its adverse impact on career advancement
• how to create effective “Whistling Vivaldi” strategies to address bias and blindspots
• how to teach women and diverse lawyers to effectively address the bias and blindspots they experience
