The Science of Lie Detection

Latham and Watkins’ associates had to fly from around the world to hear University of California Professor of Law Clark Freshman teach them to decipher hidden emotion and detect lies. JAMS, Danish lawyers, WilmerHale, Irell and Manella, and others paid to bring Professor Freshman to teach them. Click here for his other clients and engagements.

Instruction From A World Leading Authority

Professor Clark Freshman is the world’s most sought-after speaker on lie detection and nonverbal communication for lawyers and negotiators. He is also an internationally recognized authority on mindfulness, discrimination, and bias reduction.

A tenured Professor of Law at the University of California (Hastings), Professor Freshman collaborated for years with Paul Ekman, scientific advisor to TV’s Lie to Me. His webinars include critical analysis of Ekman’s methods as well as Professor Freshman’s own research at Harvard Business School and elsewhere.

Professor Freshman’s published research appears in journals at Stanford, Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, UCLA, and elsewhere. International media from Danish Broadcasting to PBS to the Wall Street Journal have covered his work.

The Science and Ethics of Lie Detection webinar offers 1.25 hours of MCLE, including 1 in ethics. You’ll learn the basic foundations to detecting lies, including:

  • The four most science-based clues to detecting lies
  • Clues to lies in people’s faces, voice, language, and body movement
  • How to avoid jumping too quickly to conclude someone is lying
  • How to read unspoken reactions in judges, jurors, colleagues, and loved ones

Mindfulness and Meditation for Lie Detection and Bias Reduction offers 1.25 hours of MCLE, including .5 hours in bias reduction. This webinar draws on Professor Freshman’s lectures at Harvard Law School and publications at Stanford, Harvard, and elsewhere. You’ll learn the science of how mindfulness and other types of “meditation” help you catch lies and reduce bias, including:

  • How awareness of subtle and superfast facial changes reveals emotions – and potential lies
  • Scientific research on how mindfulness and other meditation physically increase awareness
  • Specific “baby steps” to boost your relaxation and awareness through mindfulness
  • How clues to lies differ by culture – and how they don’t
  • Specific guided exercises to develop empathy and reduce bias – without having to focus on the breath

The webinars include pictures and videos drawn from actual trials, mediations, and news clips. They also feature photos and videos from negotiations Professor Freshman developed and taped at Harvard Business School.
