Exciting new series on “Voice, Body and Movement for Lawyers – How to connect with the jury and find Justice Through Dramatic Technique!”
Click here to find out moreJoin Andrea S. Kramer, partner in McDermott Will & Emery LLP, and Alton B. Harris, partner in Nixon Peabody LLP, for this important program about age bias in the legal profession. When lawyers understand the stereotypes surrounding younger lawyers (Millennial generation) and older lawyers (particularly women over 45), and the biases that result from these stereotypes, they are in a position to effectively combat age discrimination in their own legal organizations and improve generational harmony in the legal profession generally. In this program, our presenters address the new ABA Model Rule 8.4(g) expanded definition of “professional misconduct. They provide lawyers with advice and techniques they can use to avoid or overcome the bias they may face as they enter the profession and as they grow older. Attendees will also get information and insights they can use to recognize the often subtle and unconscious biases that exist in the profession against both younger and older lawyers to assure that all lawyers can advance in their legal careers without confronting age-related bias.
