Bob Buckley on working toward better juries and fuller justice

The Examiner Last week, I attended a continuing education seminar by Zoom. Before COVID, I obtained most of my educational requirements by attending the annual meeting of the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys at the Lake of the Ozarks each June. We are required to have 15 hours each year, and three of the 15 hours must be devoted to ethics and of that three hours, one must be devoted to explicit or implicit bias, diversity, inclusion or cultural competency. This requirement preceded the Black Lives Matter movement and was not a reaction to the events of 2020. The Missouri Bar and local bar associations have been focusing on diversity issues for several years, but the requirement of devoting one hour of education to these issues is only two years old.
