Join Mornings at Mondale for a CLE session offering a targeted examination of how unconscious bias infiltrates every stage of the litigation process, from a lawyer's preparation to a judge's final ruling. 

Focused discussion will cover how implicit bias affects attorney behavior in client and witness interactions, impacts the presentation and perception of evidence during trial, and influences judicial decision-making through rulings, jury instructions, and sentencing. 

The hybrid model has introduced flexibility but also unique wellness risks, including professional isolation, blurred work-life boundaries, and "Zoom fatigue." Unchecked, these factors can lead to chronic stress, burnout, and substance use issues, all of which directly compromise an attorney's duty of competence and diligence. 

Join Richard W. Painter, S. Walter Richey Professor of Corporate Law at Minnesota Law and E. Thomas Sullivan President Emeritus and Professor of Political Science at the University of Vermont, Dean Emeritus at Minnesota Law, and Dean Emeritus at University of Arizona Rogers College of Law as they discuss their newest publication.
