Narrative:
After landing on runway 20L; turning off at delta; brakes did not fully engage on right side preventing full right turn; 90 degrees to right. Plane ran off into grass median between delta and runway 20R. Nothing on airport was contacted and airplane incurred no damage. Able to taxi out of grass and onto delta as originally cleared and to tie down. Factors: new brakes need further seating (?); perhaps faster speed during turn; and limited recent experience.
