We are pleased to have as our speaker this month, local attorney Arturo Ocampo, Ocampo Law, who will present to our members on “Identifying and Mitigating Bias,” a program in which our speaker will discuss:

• how attorneys can develop their ability to identify bias, and to differentiate explicit, implicit and systemic biases;
• understanding the psychology of bias and how bias affects decision making, and various types of biases, such as affinity, ingroup-outgroup, confirmation, and anchoring bias;
• tools that you can use to prevent and mitigate bias;
• the types of bias experienced in law firms by women and persons of color; and
• how to develop bias interrupters in the workplace, and in the hiring process.

Our speaker’s practice areas include Education Law, Discrimination Law, and Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Law. Mr. Ocampo also conducts internal investigations involving student and employee discrimination and misconduct cases at California Community Colleges.

For over 23 years he has contributed to innovative institutional change in higher education by providing coaching, consultation, and training on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

We are very appreciative of Mr. Ocampo sharing his practical knowledge, insight and expertise in this specialty area of Implicit Bias with our members, through this presentation on implicit bias recognition and bias-reducing strategies.

This program will provide participants with 1.0 hour credit for the Elimination of Bias MCLE Special Category, which can be specifically applied to the Implicit Bias Elimination/Bias-Reducing Strategies requirement.
