Thinking Race: Implicit
Bias and Stereotype Threat
This activity has been approved for Minimum Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) credit by the State Bar of California in the amount of one hour. Santa Clara University School of Law certifies that this activity conforms to the standards for approved education activities prescribed by the rules and regulations of the State Bar of California governing minimum continuing legal education.

Co-Sponsored by the Public Interest & Social Justice Coalition and American Constitution Society for Law and Policy (ACS)
Jerry Kang is professor of law at University of California, Los Angeles, and the inaugural Korea Times-Hankook Ilbo Chair in Korean American Studies. A magna cum laude graduate of Harvard College (physics) and the Harvard Law School, Professor Kang writes on race and communications, and their intersection. On race, he is one of the leading legal experts on implicit bias and stereotype threat. He has helped launch the interdisciplinary “behavioral realism” movement, which calls on the law to be more responsive to what the mind sciences have revealed about human behavior, especially in the context of interracial interactions. His work is available at jerrykang.net.
