The private owner of the Martin’s Beach property, Mr. Khosla has retained the Washington D.C. firm of Kirkland and Ellis. The lead attorney is Paul D. Clement and per the publicity he was Solicitor General under the Bush Administration and supposedly has argued more cases before the U.S. Supreme Court than any other attorney in or out of government since 2000.

The tech billionaire that bought Martin's Beach, located just outside Half Moon Bay, California, has been facing an uphill legal battle ever since he decided to shut out the public. He's pretty much lost every step of the way.
Now, Vinod Kholsa is at the top of that hill and asking SCOTUS to review the decision requiring him to maintain public access. Despite the fact that his plea is not expected to be taken up, commentators believe that the case provides SCOTUS a vehicle to further restrict a state's right to control private property. Read More

Congrats on being elected as next year's co-chair for our real property section ... can you explain why you ran as a co-chair?
Yeah. Nobody, including me, wanted to chair the Section alone. Now that has nothing to do with being committed to the Real Property Section. I think it is more a function of coping with the uncertainty surrounding CLA’s move next year to Sacramento. I, for one, anticipate that the potential disruption can distract from the business of efficiently coordinating our section’s activities. Having a co-chair share the responsibilities should enable us to devote needed attention to both the Section and to any extra necessary CLA needs. Oh, and also, I have enjoyed my time on the Executive Committee and think I can pay back some of what I have received by stepping up my level of involvement. Read More
I appreciate this organization and the people who volunteer their valuable time in so many different and positive ways to it. I get a great deal of satisfaction from being around and leading the phenomenal people that contribute to the success of the Real Property Section. I want to facilitate all our volunteers efforts to reach our goals and exceed them. Read More
