Par for the Course: Legal Issues Arising from the Game of Golf

The program features Hon. Clifford L. Klein (Ret.) and Justice Judith Ashmann-Gerst (Ret.), both of Signature Resolution, in a discussion of the surprising and interesting legal issues that can arise from an otherwise simple social game of golf. Drawing from actual cases, the program explores golfer liability for wild shots or negligent course design, private club and event discrimination, disability accommodations, trans athletes, property tax for country clubs and intellectual property disputes involving golf equipment. The speakers will discuss how courts analyze these issues and offer practitioners insight into how a pleasant walk in a park can devolve into litigation and resolution in California and federal courts.The Litigation Section is chaired by Rachael Kogen.
