bias-aware lawyering

Bias-aware lawyering refers to the practice of recognizing and addressing personal and systemic biases that can influence legal decision-making and client representation. This approach acknowledges that biases—conscious or unconscious—can affect judgments, interactions, and outcomes in the legal process. Lawyers who adopt this mindset strive to ensure fairness and justice by actively questioning their own assumptions, seeking diverse perspectives, and advocating for equitable treatment of all clients, regardless of background. Ultimately, bias-aware lawyering aims to create a more just legal system by promoting awareness and accountability in legal practice.
