California attorneys will win more cases by always knowing the new published civil case law in their practice areas. California Case Summaries™ makes this fast and easy with its one-paragraph case summaries, organized by legal topic, of every new civil case published by California courts in monthly issues, quarterly issues, annual issues, or all three.
Every year California courts publish about 400 new civil cases, and many of them significantly change the law!
Attorneys could spend hours of time (losing lots of billable hours) each month trying to keep up with the new cases.
Or, they can easily keep up with the new cases by subscribing to California Case Summaries™. Individual Attorney and Law Firm Unlimited (letting the firm send summaries to every lawyer) subscriptions are available.
There are two ways to get California Case Summaries™:
1. Get a 1-Year Subscription to California Case Summaries™ when you Mediate with Monty McIntyre at ADR Services, Inc.

Does Ruiz v. Podolsky (2010) 50 Cal.4th 838 apply and require arbitration of wrongful-death claims premised on custodial neglect in skilled nursing facilities?
CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT
Arbitration
Holland v. Silverscreen Healthcare, Inc. (2025) __ Cal.5th __, 2025 WL 2349863: The California Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeal’s decision that had ordered the plaintiff parents’ wrongful-death claim to arbitration under MICRA Code of Civil Procedure section 1295 and Ruiz v. Podolsky (2010) 50 Cal.4th 838 (Ruiz), concluding that the claim sounded in professional negligence (and, alternatively, lacked sufficient specificity). The California Supreme Court disagreed, concluding that Ruiz applies only to medical-malpractice disputes about the rendering of medical services, not to wrongful-death claims premised on custodial neglect in skilled nursing facilities, and it remanded the case to permit plaintiffs to amend to clarify whether their claim challenged medical services or custodial care. (C.A. 2nd, Aug. 14, 2025).
