Petition for certiorari denied on November 9, 2015
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
15-8 Cal. Ct. App. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2015

Issue: Whether a generic choice-of-law provision in an otherwise broad arbitration agreement, one that does not reference a particular state, should be read to reflect intent by the parties to avoid preemption under the Federal Arbitration Act and instead to apply a rule of that state that limits or bars arbitration of an otherwise covered dispute despite the strong preference for enforcement of arbitration provisions as expressed in the Federal Arbitration Act.
