Making Smarter Decisions: Mitigating the Effects of the Irrational Brain

Research in behavioral economics demonstrates that that our information-processing powers are limited, and that we frequently make irrational decisions by relying on mental short-cuts. These findings have important implications for the legal profession, where decisions are seemingly driven by facts, precedent, and logic. In this webinar, one of Canada’s leading experts on the application of behavioral insights to decision-making will explore how the brain processes information in the context of various alternatives, and how you can make more informed decisions, hone your critical thinking skills, and solve problems with confidence.

After this webinar, you will be able to: 

• Appreciate the application of behavioral economics to various areas of law 
• Understand how cognitive biases affect your decision-making processes 
• Develop strategies to avoid irrational decisions and apply thought processes that allow you to solve problems more effectively
