CPD event: Unconscious Bias: What It Is, Why It Matters & What You Can Do

Unconscious Bias: What It Is, Why It Matters and What You Can Do
Every decision we make is shaped by filters we may not even realise we have. Join our panel in this practical and thought-provoking session, in which you’ll learn how unconscious bias influences judgement, communication, and decision-making in legal practice. We’ll explore the science behind bias, its impact on clients, colleagues and case outcomes, and strategies you can use to recognise and reduce its effects.

Sophie Coffin, Solicitor at Bennett, Palyku and Ngangumarta woman & Law Society of Western Australia's Emerging Lawyer of the Year 2024

Tom Wilson, Special Counsel at HWL Ebsworth & President of Pride-in-Law (WA Chapter)

The event will be chaired by Kate Offer, Curtin Law School
