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").

Mark Morfopoulos

The Invasion of the Right of Private Occupancy As a Covered Offense
Ilan Rosenberg
As explained by several courts, "[p]ersonal injury liability is a theory-based coverage. It defines its coverage in terms of offenses, or theories of liability, not in terms of the injury sustained by the plaintiff."
Contextual Leadership
Susan Letterman White
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. This is an outdated perspective for law firms and law departments in a world whose future is uncertain and unclear, whose context is volatile and complex, and where formal authority and expertise aren't as powerful as they once were.
