Summary: In this interactive workshop, Professor Kristin Henning will examine racial bias as a real and lived experience for people of color in the criminal and juvenile legal systems. This workshop will identify dehumanizing language and attitudes that drive the criminal courts and help defenders recognize bias when they encounter it. Through a series of interactive exercises, including Third-Party Interrupters and Check Our Bias worksheets, participants will develop concrete skills to interrupt the microaggressions and other expressions of bias that harm our clients and their families.
Presenter: Professor Kristin Henning, Georgetown Law
