Ever wonder what you would or should do if you experience sexually harassment on the job? I think most women have given this more than a passing thought.

Thanks to law professors Joanna Grossman at Southern Methodist University and Deborah Rhode at Stanford University, we now have a primer on the subject. Writing in the Harvard Business Review, Grossman and Rhode basically advise women to do what former FBI director James Comey did: Keep a record of the offenses and “tell trusted friends and family.” At the same time, though, they sound some cautionary notes: “Employment discrimination cases,” they write, “have the lowest win rate for plaintiffs of any civil cause of action.” Plus, the employee can expect some nasty retaliation (50 to 60 percent report retribution).

Every working woman should file that information away (the authors say that they focus on women, because they make up 90 percent of harassment targets), but here's what intrigued me: Are blatant forms of sexism still a problem in places like Big Law? I posed that question and others to Grossman.
