Team Objection is developing an experience for diversity training by Pennsylvania Continuing Legal Education (CLE). In the state of Pennsylvania, over 63,000 lawyers are required to take twelve credits of continuing education each year. In response to the growing attention to the topic of diversity and inclusion, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is considering making diversity training mandatory in their annual education program. Our product is expected to cover some significant diversity issues in the community of the legal professions, such as implicit bias, stereotyping, and gender and racial discrimination. The experience will base on multiple scenarios of diversity conflicts provided by CLE and adapt to a scalable classroom setting.
