Federal Practitioners, please join the Federal Bar Association Diversity and Inclusion Committee for a webinar where you will be able to learn more about how to make your professional association reflect the rich diversity of the legal community. The Committee will discuss implementing plans for Diversity and Inclusion and the Chapter, Section and Division levels that will work with all associations. The roadmap and tools to achieve diversity and inclusion can be scaled for larger bars and their events, but also for use on a smaller scale such as law firms. Learn from the work of the FBA D&I Communications Subcommittee on best practices for ensuring law related bar association events, programs, and communications are accessible to people with disabilities; and D&I resources available to bars ranging from specialty, local, state, and nationwide.

This webinar will focus on how the adjudicator’s implicit bias affects their decisions about credibility and their exercise of discretion. While adjudicators may recognize their own bias, this may not necessarily lead to stopping bias. Judges know that they need to assess credibility, and appellate judges are not supposed to replace their determination. The demeanor of the defendant, witnesses, prosecutor, and defense attorney can make a difference in the outcome of cases.
A professor, a former administrative law judge, and a District Court judge will discuss how adjudicators can recognize and attempt to eliminate implicit bias in decision-making.

In his work as a courtroom lawyer for 50+ years, Mr. Balmer has noticed bias and prejudice in court towards attorneys of different ages, skin colors, and genders. In many ways, his experience has differed from those of other attorneys younger than he is from different parts of his jurisdictions (Minnesota and Wisconsin) and the US. His remarks will describe his own observations about bias and prejudice and what measures work, and don’t work, in reducing their effect on outcomes in court.
