This session will focus on how implicit bias can influence judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, probation officers and jurors at various stages in the criminal litigation process. We will discuss how our criminal justice system treats prisoners as inhumane and unworthy of dignity, and how that bias translates into sentencing decisions and prison conditions.
The credits offered by this course count toward the CLE requirement of Criminal Procedure Rule 801, for appointment as defense counsel in a capital case.
Recorded at Day 2 of the Criminal Law Symposium in June 2022.
