Marcus Bird was a panelist at the California Bar Association’s annual meeting in October 2013.
The Title of the Panel was: “Litigating Prescriptive Use, Encroachment, and Boundary Agreement Cases: Essentials and Beyond.

The program covered bedrock principles and often overlooked subtleties in boundary agreements, encroachments, and prescriptive use litigation, and included a review of recent California statutes and pertinent appellate decisions. Mr. Bird addressed issues concerning prescriptive easements.
