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

Congratulations on your selection as an Executive Committee member for the Real Property Law Section. What made you interested in law in the first place? In undergrad, I chose my major based upon what classes sounded interesting (and what time classes were held.) I ended up majoring in Criminal Justice Administration and really loved the law-related courses I took. In particular, my criminal law professor was an Assistant District Attorney at the time and required us to learn by reading case law. It was incredibly challenging, as any first-year lawyer knows, but I found myself motivated to struggle through it and learn. If I wasn’t an attorney, I’m really not sure what else I would do.

Our objective: to provide MCLE and networking events in five major urban areas in CA. RPLS Ex Com advisors Jeff Conner and Robert MCCormick are working to provide RPLS programs for our members in Sacramento. We now regularly present live MCLE programs in four major geographic areas, San Diego, Orange County, Los Angles and the Bay Area. Read More
On June 14, 2018 the CLA Real Property Law Section hosted its third annual Summer Soiree at the Loma Club in San Diego. This event was a huge success thanks to the hard work of our Executive Committee member, Tara Burd, and our generous sponsors. The evening offered libations ranging from wine tasting from South Coast Winery, whiskey tastings from Henebery, and gin and vodka tasting from You and Yours Distillery. Guests were entertained by guitarist Mark Fisher and had the thrill of capturing the night with hilarious photobooth photos. Heather Rosing, President of the CLA spoke about her aspirations for the CLA’s bright future, and Jim Hill, Chair of the CLA, discussed the benefits of section membership and participation. This event was an excellent opportunity to make new connections in the real estate industry and re-connect with existing friends and colleagues. #CLASummerSoiree #CLARealProperty
