Judging without Bias: A Look at Diversity from the Bench
CLE credits: 2½ credits
Instructors: Hon. Catherine Bennett,
New York State Division of Tax
Appeals
Hon. Tynia Richard,
New York City Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings
This is a repeat of a popular course which takes a candid look at diversity and the potential impact of bias in the courtroom. The course attempts a journey of self-discovery to uncover potential or subconscious judicial biases about issues, litigants and witnesses, and how bias may affect judges’ thoughts, credibility determinations, judgments, and decision-making.
