The following is an excerpt from Ms. Motley Broom’s presentation paper: 

In the context of litigation, our past experiences often make us better attorneys. This is at the very heart of practice. If we are not careful, though, we can be lulled into thinking we know the person on the other side of the conflict before we have done any work to see an individual…. In mediation, the parties who acknowledge, understand and actively work to address their biases consistently have the best results. An open mind is often the best tool any attorney has to facilitate a resolution. With preconceived ideas about a particular entity or person, the mediation process is hampered and often takes a great deal longer. 

Ms. Motley Broom speaks regularly on the role of implicit bias law. Find out more about Bianca Motley Broom’s recent publications and speaking engagements.
