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.
