Attorneys invited to training on unconscious decision-making
The State Bar of Michigan’s Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Committee is inviting all Michigan attorneys to attend a virtual three-part training series on unconscious decision-making with Kimberly Papillon, an internationally renowned judicial professor and lecturer on neuroscience and fair decision-making in law, medicine, education, and business. The series is being offered free of charge thanks to co-sponsorship by General Motors Legal Staff.
In her series on the neuroscience of decision-making in the justice system, Papillon explores how brain imaging and decision-making studies can explain how we determine intelligence, veracity, threat, and competence. With this understanding, participants can work to identify ways to ensure sound decision-making and fairness guided by science. SBM has organized a previous well-received session for lawyers, judges, bar leaders, and staff, and on the basis of the enthusiastic reviews, is pleased to be offering these sessions to a wider audience.
The training will take place via Zoom with:
• Part One: Friday, December 4 at noon. This introductory session is designed for anyone who hasn’t already participated in one of Papillon’s lectures.
• Part Two: Friday, December 11 at noon. This session will dive deeper into the implications of neuroscience, psychology, and implicit association in decision-making. Whether you attended Part One in our series, or through your employer, you are welcome to attend.
• Part Three: Friday, December 18 at noon. The final session will focus on moving forward and working toward solutions to the problems identified in Parts One and Two.
