New CA Arbitration/Employment Case

 

California Case Summaries™
Know the New Cases to Win Your Cases 

Every year California courts publish over 500 new civil cases, and many of them significantly change California law. California civil attorneys need to know the new case law!

The bad news - it's hard to keep up because of the number of new cases, many cases are 50-100 pages long, and because California courts also publish new cases in the areas of criminal law, juvenile law and family law.

The good news - there's now a quick, easy way to always know the new civil case law in your practice areas: California Case Summaries™. I prepare one-paragraph summaries, that can be read in 2 minutes and are organized by legal topic, so California lawyers always know the new case law to work up their active cases better, get bigger settlements, and win more summary judgments and trials to make more money. For less than 1 billable hour per month, you'll always know the new case law to get a competitive advantage...

Plan Your Week

time management Mar 28, 2023

Welcome to my blog!


Plan Your Week

Regularly planning and calendaring your work will help you timely and efficiently get your work done. It's true that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Friday afternoon is a great day to plan your next week. Take time and think about your various projects and deadlines for the next week, and the projects and deadlines the people working with you need to complete next week. You should have a planner for every project, and Friday is the right time to update your project planners. 

During the week schedule 1-hour blocks of time to do un-interrupted work. Work for 50 to 55 minutes each hour. In the last 5-10 minutes of the hour, get up, stretch, and move your body. 

Take an hour for lunch each day. Go for a walk. Get outside.

Also plan your personal time for the next week. Time with your spouse or partner, your family, your friends. Activities like meditation, exercise, socializing, etc. 

Once you work out your plan for the next week,...

Welcome to my blog!


Labor Code and PAGA Wage and Hour Claims Against Public Entities

The California Labor Code, including PAGA, allows employees to bring wage and hour claims against their employers. But what if the employer is a public entity? Last month, the First District Court of Appeal published the case of Stone v. Alameda Health System (2023) _ Cal.App.5th _ , 2023 WL 1508276 addressing this issue. Subscribers to my publication California Case Summaries™ only need to read my one-paragraph summary of this new case to know what they decided. 


I do three things, all California law related:

I'm a mediator, arbitrator and referee at ADR Services, Inc. I handle business, employment, insurance (bad faith, coverage, UIM), probate, real property and torts (elder abuse, medical malpractice, personal injury, product liability, and wrongful death) cases.
