The TBA YLD’s first CLE of the bar year will take place Oct. 5 from 9 to 11 a.m. CDT. “Cultural Competency for the Young Lawyer” will include a discussion on implicit bias, how it impacts lawyers and why it matters. The webcast will offer two hours of ethics credit and feature real-life examples from the courtroom and with clients. Speakers include Knoxville lawyer Sherley Cruz with the University of Tennessee College of Law and Brentwood lawyer Julie Peak with the Law Offices of Julie Bhattacharya Peak. Registrants will complete the Harvard Implicit Bias Test prior to attending the course.
