'Women for Management Boards! Analysis and Evaluation of the Gender-Requirement for German Management Boards': According to the new § 76 sec. 3a of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz), certain companies must have at least one woman and one man as members of their management board. Appointments in violation of this requirement are null and void. The author establishes guidelines to cope with this new regulation in practice and evaluates the new gender-requirement, finding it to be both unconstitutional and contrary to EU law.
