<i><b>At the Intersection</i></b>Manterruption Redux

Pamela Woldow & Doug Richardson

Last August and September, we published a two-part article on the phenomenon called "manterruption." We commented on some important social research discussing men's pervasive tendency to interrupt women in group meetings or settings where the power stakes were high ("manterruption") and to appropriate women's ideas as their own ("bropropriation"). These posts triggered a torrent of response, some of which was gratifying to us and some of which was pretty bewildering.

<b><i>In the Spotlight:</i></b> Relocation Clauses

Mark Morfopoulos

Many landlords are faced with a dilemma when signing a deal with a small tenant. What if a larger tenant wants to lease a large block of space and a smaller tenant is already leasing some of the space that the larger tenant needs?

Leadership development has traditionally focused on the leader, with little thought about the variety of people the leader needs to engage, or the context in which he or she must operate.

  • Divorce Lawyers' Obligation to Children
    Do divorce lawyers have an obligation to disclose client confidences when it is in the best interests of the client's child to do so? The short answer of the rules of professional responsibility is 'no' because a 'yes' answer is deemed to be fundamentally inconsistent with the premises of the adversary system in which the divorce lawyer functions. The longer answer is that the rules encourage ' but do not require ' a divorce lawyer to counsel the client to authorize the disclosure because it is in the best interests of both parent and child.
