Topic:

Creating Conditions for Fairness in the Courts

Date:

Thursday, May 21, 2026, 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Program Description: 

We know that administrative law judges and hearing officers strive to create fairness for every litigant, lawyer, and staff member.  In this session, we will share empirically based insights that help to explain why this aspiration is challenging and strategies to help achieve it. Participants will learn the social science of implicit bias and the value of psychological safety to increase awareness and have the opportunity to engage with peers to explore the real-world implications of the insights and strategies.

Instructor:

She collaborates with social scientists on empirical research focused on narrative shift and systemic interventions to promote dignity and belonging. She regularly leads workshops and presentations to translate empirical insights into systems change.
