Implicit Bias in the Law

*Please read below for information on how to get your Zoom link if you purchase a webinar.  You will NOT be emailed a link automatically.  You must fill out the very short Zoom form to get your link after purchasing any webinar from us. Freestone does not have the ability to link to Zoom automatically. Also, if you fill out the Zoom form and don't get the success screen, check your email (including your spam folder) for the Zoom link, as sometimes browsers don't display that final page correctly, but the registration was captured by Zoom.

Webinar Time
This webinar begins at 1:00pm EASTERN time and ends at 2:00pm EASTERN time.

Course Description

It used to be thought that you don’t know what you don’t know. Well, no more. This class explores what goes on under the hood of the brain, the back side of a person’s operating system. There are presumptions, assumptions and stereotypes that influence decisions. Sometimes, these presumptions are good. But sometimes, they can work to discriminate against people based on race and sex. This class examines how implicit bias works, and how it can impact clients.

How to Register with Zoom

  1. Log in to your Comedian of Law account

  2. Click on "My Courses" in the left hand blue column.

  3. Click on the webinar you wish to register for from your list of “Purchased CLE Programs”.

  4. Fill out the short Zoom registration sheet and click on "Register" to complete.

  5. You will then receive an email from Zoom, which will have your personal link to access the webinar.

Important Information Regarding Registration

  1. Please do not wait until 2 minutes before the webinar to register with Zoom if possible, as you cannot log in until you get the email from Zoom and while email is usually instantaneous, we all know that isn’t always the case.

  2. You must be watching the webinar in order to get credit.  Most states accredit webinars differently than other formats and in order to get webinar credit, you must be watching, not just listening using the audio only link.

  3. There will be poll questions every hour, as many states require them.  If you don’t answer the poll question and your state requires them, we can’t award credit for that hour.  The poll questions are NOT obscure, as Joel always announces them before he runs them, and he reads them out loud.  If your state requires you answer them, please don’t miss them.  Please note that you will not be able to answer poll questions if you are using an audio only link, which is another reason you need to be WATCHING (not just listening to audio only version) the video presentation.

Written Materials

Written materials are available in your COL account after you have purchased a webinar. 

  1. Go to www.comedianoflaw.com

  2. Click on "My Account" in the yellow box in the upper right hand corner and log into your account.

  3. Click on "My Courses" in the blue column on the left.

  4. Find the particular webinar in the "Purchased CLE Programs" section and click on it.

  5. Then click on “Downloadable Materials” and then the title of the webinar again and they will open in a new browser window.

How to Get Credit for the Webinar

  1. All webinar certificates are done by hand, so you will not get them when the webinar is over.  We have to cross reference your log in and log out times and your poll questions to figure out how much credit you earned.

  2. You will receive your certificate of attendance within a week of the webinar and it will be sent to the email address you used when you registered for the webinar.

  3. Comedian of Law will report to all states that are provider report states.  If your state is a self-reporting state, we will not (like FL, IA or MO for example).  Hours are usually reported right before certificates of attendance are sent, but the email you receive will explain.
