Misremembering: implicit bias, memory, and decisionmakers
Justin D. Levinson, assistant Professor of Law, University of Hawai‘i, William S. Richardson School of Law, recently published a significant addition to the ever growing body of scholarship on implicit bias and the Law. His article, Forgotten Racial Equality: Implicit Bias, Decisionmaking, and Misremembering, 57 DUKE L.J. 345 (2007), explores how decisionmakers (i.e judges and jurys) “implicitly make stereotype driven memory errors” when deciding a case. Professor Levinson’s use of empirical research methods and his in-depth discussion of debiasing techniques make this article a “must read” for implicit bias, social cognition, and behavioral realism aficionados.
