The New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education announced on May 8 a new program titled “I Think, Therefore I Am Biased – 2026 Edition,” scheduled for May 28. The event will feature legal humorist Sean Carter and will focus on how biases can affect hiring, evaluations, and client interactions within the legal profession.

This program aims to help legal professionals recognize and address their own biases. Organizers say that understanding these issues is important to foster fairness and improve decision-making in law offices.

According to the announcement, participants will learn practical strategies designed to identify and counteract personal biases. These approaches are intended to support more equitable outcomes when working with colleagues or clients.

Registration information is available through the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education. The session is open to those seeking tools to make their professional environment more fair and effective.

The institute encourages all members of the legal community interested in this topic to attend.
