From the statue of Frauds, to the Notice of Compensation, to the recording of activity at the property to sellers' signatures, when a real estate broker takes a listing of residential property many of the terms need to satisfy legal or regulatory requirements. C.A.R's senior legal adviser to its Standard Forms committee will go over those items in the listing contract that have legal implications.

Artwork on buildings can be protected under a number of intellectual property regimes, including copyright or trade dress. Recently, graffiti artists have successfully sued property owners for millions of dollars the removal of graffiti in violation of a relatively new form of IP in the United States: "Artist Rights.” Most famously, a group of graffiti artists recently obtained damages of $6.7 million in a lawsuit under the Visual Artist Rights Act for the whitewashing of their graffiti by property owners at “5Pointz” in New York. The webinar will examine the various types of protection afforded artwork on buildings; the 5Pointz case and other recent cases involving artist rights; and precautions all property owners should take before allowing artwork to be created or destroyed on their buildings.

The CLA Real Property Law Section’s Annual Spring Conference (formerly the Real Property Law Section Retreat) is the leading educational conference for California real estate lawyers. The 2019 Spring Conference will be held in Newport Beach this year and will include 44 legal education seminars featuring outstanding CLE programming on a variety of real estate topics, as well as ethics, elimination of bias, and competence. This event is regularly attended by 250-300 attorneys from all over California who range from established real estate attorneys in their respective fields, to new lawyers just starting their careers, and other real estate industry professionals. Some of the many highlights of this Spring Conference will be our key-note speakers. We are thrilled to have Stuart Gabriel, head of the Ziman Institute for Real Estate at UCLA, a nationally known economist and speaker, discuss the current state of the California real estate market and economic trends. In addition, Janice Brown, the founding partner of Brown Law Group in San Diego, a renowned speaker in her field, will be providing valuable insight into attorney work-life balance, diversity in the workplace, and building a successful law practice. To top off the weekend we will have fun-filled networking cocktail receptions, breakfast seminars, golf competitions, and exciting off-site excursions for attendees to enjoy.
I want to welcome Ona Dosumnu, the new Executive Director of the CLA, who Roland Brandel has said is a superlative and proven leader. We are really excited to have you on board. Ona, you are going through couple of moves here in the last few months? How is the personal move going?
Thanks, J.R. I’ve settled into my new home nicely and am really enjoying Sacramento so far. Thanks to Amazon Prime, I had everything I needed to be comfortable in my apartment already delivered when I got there.
