The summer heat is on. Maybe you or your clients are thinking of cooling down by buying or leasing an Ontario countryside cottage or living it up in the Ontario nightlife … Canada that is, not California.

Our July 16, 2026 What’s Up With Us! (WUWU) will interview prominent Toronto lawyer Joel Kadish and discuss real estate law and ideas we can apply in California from our neighbors in the Great White North. Plus, we will include an insightful discussion of recent California real property cases.

Please join us for our special Summer What’s Up with Us and review of Canadian real estate law and California cases concerning:

- Is it fair to sell property at a tax sale for the auction price if below a theoretical fair market value;
- Insurance umbrella policy limits. Where do they stand if not clear in the policy;
- Whether the Contractors State License Law applies to equipment installation.

As always, attendees will earn one hour of self-study MCLE for free. Plus, every attendee has a chance to win a gift card for one hour of MCLE credit from the pre-recorded RPLS library.
