Hidden bias is difficult to root out. We are all incapable of completely impartially examining our reasons for acting; thats why hidden bias is “hidden. This CLE program seeks to explore differences between “bias and “deduction and inference through the innovative technique of following alongside one of fictions great ratiocinators Sherlock Holmes. Using video clips from decades of Sherlock Holmes movies and television episodes our Moderator and Panelists will take you on a guided tour through ways in which Holmes, Watson, London and rural police inspectors and constables have either fallen prey to bias or avoided bias by thinking clearly. The end result? The program presents a series of positive and negative examples of interacting with the ABAs amended Model Rule addressing bias and beyond.
