Modifications to the Shopping Center: A Tenant's Perspective

In most shopping center leases across the country, there is a provision that relates to the landlord's right to modify, change, add to, subtract from, and/or alter the size, dimensions, character, and construction of the shopping center. Very often, these provisions further grant the landlord the right to change the entrances, the number of parking spaces, the dimensions of hallways and corridors, the number of floors, the placement of kiosks, carts and retail merchandising units in the common areas, the location and arrangement of the common areas, and the merchandising mix of tenants.

The Race You Didn’t Know You Were In: Why AI Is Setting the Pace for Law Firm Marketing

The volume and sophistication of work hitting law firm marketing departments is accelerating.

Copyright, Free Speech and Victim Rights In the Digital Age

The annals of copyright decisions could provide a reasonably representative catalog of what our culture has been up to over the past 200 years.
