The Massachusetts Bar Association’s Dispute Resolution
(DR) Section in collaboration with the Trial Court
Standing Committee on Dispute Resolution, and the MBA's Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee, kick off Conflict Resolution Week by presenting an
interactive training program examining unconscious bias in dispute
resolution.
The training will provide:
- An in-depth review and discussion of implicit
bias, as well as the Implicit Association Test.
- Tools to counteract bias in dispute resolution.
Participants are encouraged to take the Implicit Association Test before the
training at https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit.
The test is free and anonymous.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear about how unconscious and implicit bias
affects dispute resolution practice. Learn how to recognize implicit bias in
yourself and how to minimize its impact in the context of providing dispute
resolution services.
This webinar will be hosted using Zoom. Registration is required by
9:30 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 17.

This event is open to lawyers,
mediators, DR professionals, members of the MBA and other bar associations, law
