A panel of past Diversity Trailblazer Awardees held a discussion on the progress of achieving diversity within the legal profession
An Examination of Judicial Diversity in New York State
The Committees on Civil Rights and Diversity & Inclusion sponsored this program during The New York State Bar Association's 139th Annual Meeting. Whether you are a criminal defense attorney, judge, law school clinician, legal services attorney or
the managing partner of a major law firm, implicit bias affects you every day. This program demonstrated implicit or unconscious bias so all lawyers understand how it impacts our work. A few specific views of bias in our profession were explored: Are
law schools preparing lawyers who have awareness of the impact of bias? How can implicit bias affect setting bail or jury deliberations? When do we see implicit bias in the courtroom? How can we overcome the impact of bias in law firm employment determinations
including promotion and partnership?
