As humans, we all hold implicit biases which create blind spots that subconsciously affect our understanding and decision-making. Such biases have continue to contribute to low diversity and inclusion rates in law. Paulette Brown, the first woman of color to serve as the president of the American Bar Association, offers concrete examples of biases at play in the legal profession, and what lawyers, firms, and companies can do to mitigate its harmful effects.
Paulette Brown is a senior partner and the Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer at Locke Lord LLP. She is a member of the labor and employment practice group. She is a past president of the American Bar Association (ABA). Previously, she served as in-house counsel to several Fortune 500 companies and served as a Municipal Court Judge.
