The primary focus of this program is to understand and
demonstrate how implicit bias discussions in the legal profession must include
mental health (including substance use) and stress issues. This program
will begin with a general understanding of the concept of implicit bias and
discuss how implicit bias stands in the way of lawyers seeking the help they
need for mental health and stress issues. While it’s hard for anyone to
ask for help, there is a double stigma for those already in underrepresented
groups. This program will address the challenges faced by lawyers, judges,
and law students when asking for help for mental health issues. It will also
address the relationship between mental health issues and diversity and
inclusion. The program includes a discussion of strategies to overcome these
issues.
This CLE is approved for credit through
December 3, 2023.
