Presented by CBA Legal Futures

Lawyers are trained to reason carefully. Judges follow rules designed to prevent bias. And yet wrongful convictions keep happening, Indigenous and Black Canadians remain dramatically overrepresented in federal prisons, and the adversarial system keeps producing unequal outcomes.

What's going wrong — and can behavioural science fix it?

Listen in on a fascinating conversation that focuses on the cognitive and structural roots of legal bias in Canada, from the courtroom to the algorithm. We'll explore what the research actually says about debiasing interventions, why some reforms work and others don't, and what the legal profession would need to change in education, in practice, and in doctrine.
