Existing research indicates that all individuals develop
implicit attitudes and stereotypes as a result of their
experiences with the world. Because implicit biases are
unconscious, they can affect behaviors and attitudes in
ways, both positive and negative, unknown to the
individual.
Phase II of the Campaign will work with three states to
develop and deliver learning programs on implicit bias to
judges and court staff. Lessons learned from each state's
efforts will inform the production of resources for all
states.
Those interested in learning more about implicity bias are
referred to the Resources provided below.
The following resources were used in the pilot testing
states:
