Introductory Remarks
The New Residential Subsection is Here!
The Real Property Section has established a RESIDENTIAL SUBSECTION! This new and exciting subsection will provide legal updates, educational content and practical advice to practitioners and licensees who advise in all aspects of residential real property. Contrary to most belief, this subsection will address more than purchase and sale transactions and will include all aspects of residential real property - finance, title and escrow, leasing, property management, post Covid-19 unlawful detainers and eminent domain. Come and join us as we welcome this new subsection to the Real Property Section family!
If you would like to become a member or have questions about our NEW Residential Subsection, please contact our co-chairs:
Sadara DeVonne [direct: 626-316-2540, email: sadara@devonnelaw.com] and Rosetta Broomfield [direct: 562-716-9402, email: rosettabroomfield@yahoo.com]
Our Open Invitation
Want to learn more about our section and see how you can get involved? We invite you to join one of our Executive Committee meetings and hear for yourself what we do and why we do it. The Executive Committee meets every first Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Zoom (Meeting Registration – Zoom). Feel free to stop by and meet our dynamic group in our next meeting on January 5, 2022.
The Real Property Section would like to wish you and your family Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year! See you in 2022!

Cyber Attacks on Construction Companies: What You Don’t Know, Will Hurt You
Construction Law Subsection
No industry is immune from cybersecurity threats, and that includes the construction industry. Construction firms have access to a wealth of information that might be desirable to hackers and cyber extortionists. The construction industry has also adopted more cutting-edge technology in recent years, which creates potential portals to cyber-attacks. This informative roundtable discussion will provide guidance on best practices using the latest technology in construction, prepare you for legal pitfalls, and provide tips on reducing and managing cyber risks.
Panelists
- Andrew J. Moss. Partner, Reed Smith LLP
- Sue S. Junn. Member, Clark Hill LLP
- Rebecca Pearson. Associate Director, West Region Leader, Willis Towers Watson
- Michael Corcione. Partner, HKA Global

- Environmental Law -
The Federal Aviation Administration’s nonadherence to Order 1050.1F Desk Reference in finding no significant environmental impact for a project could not alone serve as the basis for holding that the FAA did not take a hard look at the environmental consequences of the project; a plaintiff had to show the FAA’s nonadherence to the desk reference had some environmental significance. The fact a plaintiff cannot identify any specific cumulative impacts that the FAA failed to consider suggests that there are none. Quantified data in a cumulative effects analysis is not a per se requirement. If a California Environmental Quality Act analysis finds significant environmental effects stemming from a project, a National Environmental Policy Act analysis does not need to explain away this significance unless the plaintiff can identify specific findings in the CEQA report that it believes raise substantial questions about environmental impact.

- Public and Private Use -
Where a utility company installed a water main to fulfill an individual need at the parcel as opposed to the public at large, and the installation was pursuant to a contract with a private developer rather than through its eminent domain authority, the main serves a private use and inverse liability principles are inapplicable. Fire protection immunity applies where fire protection was a substantial or significant factor in the decision to construct and maintain a water main on a property.
