An increasingly prominent theme in legal scholarship is that unconscious bias is an important contributor to social disparities by race and gender.

Such responses, it is... |

IN a recent article, Professor Bartlett argues that modifying legal tools in order to reduce implicit race and gender bias is a worthy goal, but one that is almost certainly unattainable. The modern workplace, in her view, is populated mostly by individuals who are well intentioned and committed to nondiscrimination. Legal coercion threatens... |
