Our legal system is built upon an inherent and
overarching assumption of equality under the law, and a denial of equal justice
to one is a failure for all. Recent events have exposed the reality in our
society that the aspiration of complete equality often falls short, sometimes
with tragic consequences. Unconscious patterns in human behavior can give rise
to an implicit bias that impacts delivery of justice in our legal system and in
society in general.
Please join us for an in-depth panel discussion and interactive training with Probate
and Family Court Chief Justice John D. Casey, David Hoffman, John Laing and Isaac
Tesfay. Learn how to recognize implicit biases in yourself and how to minimize
their impact in the context of Probate and Family Court matters.
This webinar will be hosted using Zoom. Registration is
required by 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 1, to participate in this program.
