I Think, Therefore, I am ... Biased: Ethics and EDI with Legal Humorist Sean Carter - Webinar
Sean Carter – Humorist at Law – brings you hilarious and informative CLE credits this December. Drawing on his unique background as a former securities lawyer, corporate vice president, and stand-up comedian, Mr. Carter’s program is not only laugh-out-loud funny, but also relevant to legal professionals.
In the morning, he’ll tackle:
- implicit bias in the legal field
- ethics and professionalism, with a focus on fidelity to the law and the administration of justice
In the afternoon:
- don’t mix business and pleasure; don’t become personally involved with the client
- keep your hands off the trust money
- remain peaceful at all times
Join us for a half- or full-day – we guarantee you will learn AND laugh a lot.
Home studies will be available approximately 2-3 weeks following the live program.
If disability accommodations or special assistance are needed, please contact us at [email protected]. Requests must be made at least two weeks prior to the scheduled program.

Introduction

I Think, Therefore, I am . . . Biased
The human brain is wired to recognize patterns and make generalizations, even those based on faulty or incomplete information. Contrary to popular opinion, lawyers are human as well, and are just as susceptible to forming biases and acting upon them. And it does not require that we harbor ill will or animus toward other people. In fact, most often, our biases are not even our own, but rather those that have been taught to us.
In this eye-opening presentation, Sean Carter will use videos to show just how easy it is to form biases, how they manifest themselves in the way we treat clients, colleagues and opposing parties, and most importantly, how we can reduce the effect of these biases by recognizing and compensating for them.

Attorneys Are Not Accomplices: How to Avoid Crossing the Line from Counselor to Co-Conspirator
In their efforts to provide the best possible service to their clients, lawyers sometimes forget that they owe an even greater duty of fidelity to the law and the proper administration of justice. As a result, lawyers who “pull out all the stops” for a client run the risk of putting a stop to their law careers and even their very freedom.
