3 PROPERTY A (2/5) I.Property Open to the Public (Yellowstone) A.Generally B.Brooks (cont’d) II.Review Problem 1K (Part ii) (Biscayne) III.Review Problem 1J (Redwood) IV.Free Speech Rights (Arches)

4 Right to Exclude: Parcels Open to the Public Brooks & DQ1.22 (Yellowstone) Purpose of Exclusion & Less Restrictive Alternatives Expertise + Access to Funds  Possible Loss of $$ for O Possible less restrictive alternative to address this concern: Limit on amount one person can bet. Pros & Cons? (Worry: Some Pros ARE Cons)

5 Right to Exclude: Parcels Open to the Public Brooks & DQ1.23 (Yellowstone) Purpose of Exclusion & Less Restrictive Alternatives Possible less restrictive alternative: Limit on amount one person can bet. Good idea? Treating all patrons alike; less chance of mistake BUT Easy to get around by hiring multiple bettors Though that’s also true if you try to exclude specific people Tracks may not like. Good for business to have big losses and [occasional] big wins Note this is probably not kind of solution court can do; would need legislation or negotiation

6 YELLOWSTONE (DQ1.22-1.23) GIANT GEYSER

7 Right to Exclude: Parcels Open to the Public: Brooks Purpose for Inclusion/Harms from Exclusive Significant Public Interest in Allowing Access in Cases Like This?

8 Right to Exclude: Parcels Open to the Public: Brooks Purpose for Inclusion/Harms from Exclusive Significant Public Interest in Allowing Access in Cases Like This? Probably not much in ensuring professionals can bet large amounts in person at track Concerns: Exclusion b/c mistake re identity or facts E.g., Federal No-Fly Lists E.g., NY case cited in Brooks (P80): Coley Madden mistaken for Owney Madden

9 Right to Exclude: Parcels Open to the Public: Brooks Comparisons with Other Kinds of Businesses: Casinos Ps Asked Court in Brooks to Apply Uston In Uston, NJ SCt seems to apply Innkeeper Rule to casinos 7 th Cir. Refuses to Apply NJ Case; Not Followed in Illinois NJ Doesn’t Extend to Racetracks Anyway Could Also Distinguish on Facts Card Counting = Skill Accessible to All (v. Inside Info on Horses/Jockeys) Casinos Covered by Special Statutes/Licensing (so explicit regulatory power in state govt)

10 Right to Exclude: Parcels Open to the Public: Brooks: Right to Exclude: Parcels Open to the Public: Brooks: Comparisons with Other Businesses: DQ1.23 Arguments re Extending Innkeeper Rules to Cover Stadiums & Racetracks Include: Comparisons to Inns & Common Carriers (& Monopoly Theory) Heavy state regulation & relatively few racetracks, so like monopoly But arguably less important than inns & common carriers Not crucial at time of arrival; extortion of patrons unlikely Less public interest in ensuring universal access. (Cf. Bottom of P80: Description of innkeeper & common carrier as “public callings”)

11 Right to Exclude: Parcels Open to the Public: Brooks: Right to Exclude: Parcels Open to the Public: Brooks: Comparisons with Other Businesses: DQ1.24 (Yellowstone) Arguments re Innkeeper Rules for Stadiums & Racetracks Include: From the Court: (P82) Suggestion that large open invitation might mean O should lose discretion. -BUT- (P83) Suggestion that market forces here [& bad publicity] likely to discourage many types of arbitrary exclusions. Not Mentioned in Readings: Often Significant Public Funding & Gov’t Support for Stadium Construction; Could View as Implied Contract w Public for Access

12 Right to Exclude: Parcels Open to the Public: Brooks: Closing Points Other jurisdictions generally follow Brooks (even NJ) Only Exception I Know is California Civil Rights Act Language (2d para P85) looks like ordinary civil rights statute Cal. SCt reads it to ban “arbitrary discrimination” of any kind E.g., Orloff (1951) (racetrack case) Can’t exclude people w reputations for immoral character. Person in Q had prior off-track gambling conviction & reputation as gambler/bookmaker.

13 Right to Exclude: Parcels Open to the Public: Brooks: Closing Points: Final Continuum Can exclude anyone for any reason (Common Law re most businesses) Can exclude for any reason except limited list of forbidden characteristics (Typical Civil Rights Statutes) No “arbitrary discrimination.” (California Civil Rights Act) Must accept anyone who shows up w $$ unless specific prior harmful conduct. (Common Law Innkeeper Rule & maybe casinos under Uston). Qs on Brooks?

14 PROPERTY A (2/5) I.Property Open to the Public (Yellowstone) II.Review Problem 1K (Part ii) (Biscayne) III.Review Problem 1J (Redwood) IV.Free Speech Rights (Arches) SUNRISE AT ADAMS KEY

15 Gaidian (FL) MW Statutes: Review Problem 1K(ii) HF uses MWs living onsite to pick crops about 5 wks/yr. Large open “Assembly Area” Several Rows of Barracks Buildings (Pvt Living Qtrs) FF = charismatic/controversial religious figure FF wishes to visit HF Some of HF MWs = followers of FF Some of HF MWs strenuously object

16 Review Problem 1K(ii) (Biscayne) Needs to be “Other Authorized Vistitor”: L88(5) (c) A representative of a bona fide religious organization who, during the visit, is engaged in the vocation or occupation of a religious professional or worker such as a minister, priest, or nun; or (d) Any other person who provides services for farmworkers which are funded in whole or in part by local, state, or federal funds but who does not conduct or attempt to conduct solicitations. Can FF Access “Assembly Area”?

17 Review Problem 1K(ii) (Biscayne) Given Facts, Should Assume FF Will Be “Invited Guest” L88(B) … Any invited guest must leave the private living quarters upon the reasonable request of a resident residing within the same private living quarters. FF Access “to Pvt Living Qtrs”

18 Review Problem 1K(ii) (Biscayne) L88(C): Reasonable rules re hours L88(D): Check in Before Entry; Present Picture I.D. Correct but Trivial Not Worth Much Time/Space What Rules re Access Can S Set ?

19 Review Problem 1K(ii) (Biscayne) reasonably related to the purpose of promoting the safety, welfare, or security of residents, visitors, farmworkers, or the owner’s or operator’s business. L88(D): Migrant labor camp owners or operators may adopt other rules regulating access … if the rules are reasonably related to the purpose of promoting the safety, welfare, or security of residents, visitors, farmworkers, or the owner’s or operator’s business. What Rules re Access Can S Set ?

20 PROPERTY A (2/5) I.Property Open to the Public (Yellowstone) II.Review Problem 1K (Part ii) (Biscayne) III.Review Problem 1J (Redwood) IV.Free Speech Rights (Arches) Redwoods & Ferns

21 Right to Exclude: Review Problem 1J Client uses MWs living onsite to pick crops several wks/yr. Large meeting hall next to MW barracks MWs get Sundays off; invite MWs from nearby farms to hall for Religious Service Social Event after Client seeks advice about whether he has to allow Asked to describe legal/factual research necessary to advise

22 Right to Exclude: Review Problem 1J Legal Research Needed To Establish Legal Framework 1.Check if state roughly follows Shack by caselaw or statute. 2.Check for precise rules & permissible restrictions. 3.Look for possible caselaw/statutory language addressing specific issues that might arise, e.g., …

23 Right to Exclude: Review Problem 1J Legal Research Needed To Establish Legal Framework 3.Look for possible caselaw/statutory language addressing: a.Possible Distinction between i)People invited by MWs Check if limited like FL to living quarters Check if limited like Shack if “harm to others”? ii) People who get access w/o invitation b.Relevant tests used in Shack (e.g., customary assns.) c.Genl info about MWs’ use of off-duty time

24 Right to Exclude: Review Problem 1J Legal & Factual Research Relevant to the Following Aspects of the Problem … (Notes on my list of topics): Lots of ways to approach/organize this problem I’m not looking for any particular structure. Any set of categories/headings (including mine) will overlap to some extent. I tried to design this list to help you see issues; good answers would hit on most of these topics somewhere.

25 Right to Exclude: Review Problem 1J (Redwood) Legal & Factual Research Relevant to The Religious Services Major Topics to Explore?

26 Right to Exclude: Review Problem 1J (Redwood) Legal & Factual Research Relevant to The Religious Services: Major Topics Include… Check Nature of Services/Use of Clergy Check Importance of Services to MWs Explore Possible Harms Caused By Services Alternatives to Use of Hall on C’s Land Additional Legal Research
