June 13: Understanding Women's Conflict in the Legal Workplace and the Bias That Built It

A common misconception is that women inherently have challenging relationships with other women at work. The research of our guest speakers, Andrea Kramer and Alton Harris, has shown this is patently untrue. They will provide real-world advice and tactics for how both women and men in the legal profession can avoid workplace conflict and overcome deeply rooted biases in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
During this free Continuing Legal Education webinar, our speakers will share insights on the following:

• Gender bias in the workplace, including women’s same-gender conflicts
• How gendered workplaces disadvantage women
• How to build supportive work environments to help women succeed and advance
