Statement from the Co-Chairs

Thomas E. Lombardi and Neil D. Kalin 2018-2019 Co-Chairs

On behalf of the Real Property Law Section (RPLS) of the California Lawyers Association, we would like to take this opportunity to say a few words to our members as we begin our new term in office and have exciting plans and activities to share.

Starting in 2019, there will also be a monthly webinar highlighting specific articles in the E-bulletin, interviews with Section members, discussions about upcoming events, and whatever else is current for the RPLS.

The RPLS is also active on social media and if...
