Were you surprised by the results? Can you think of an example of a situation where you believe implicit bias affected your experience, your behavior or what you observed in others?  Given what you have learned, how do you think implicit bias affects the administration of justice in the American legal system?  Given that you have a responsibility to zealously advocate on behalf of your client, do you think it is appropriate to use other’s biases to benefit your client?  Using the readings provided with the option of also using other resources, respond to the question presented. Your post must be a minimum of 750 words, including footnotes. You must also respond substantively to at least two classmates post, at least 250 words including footnotes, and to any replies to your initial post.

The underlying implicit attitudes and stereotypes responsible for implicit bias are those beliefs or simple associations that a person makes between an object and its evaluation that “...are automatically activated by the mere presence (actual or symbolic) of the attitude object”  ]]> 2017-11-08 21:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/LordG/fmroooo3n4f7/wish/205060325 LordG https://padlet.com/LordG/fmroooo3n4f7/wish/205060326
