Juror Perceptions of Women Litigators

Jurors not only instinctively pick up on the way in which other attorneys, judges, etc. treat female litigators, but also hold gender biases of their own, before ever setting foot in the courtroom.  This CLE examines the history of women in the courtroom with an emphasis on how past perceptions can influence jurors’ judgment of female attorneys in today’s world.  Drawing upon data collected from various psychological research initiatives across the country, this course focuses on the legal implications for the inherent implicit and explicit gender biases held by jurors.  Strategies for combatting gender bias in the courtroom are also discussed.

Rachel York Colangelo has a doctorate in legal psychology from Florida International University and a B.A. in psychology and sociology from the University of Virginia. Her education involved extensive coursework and research training, specifically in the area of jury decision-making.
