Abstract

Discusses the Arizona Supreme Court’s case Eastin v. Broomfield. The court in Eastin upheld as constitutional Arizona’s Medical Malpractice Act, which required in part that a plaintiff go first before a medical liability review panel before being allowed to proceed to trial. The author believes this issue will not be settled until it is reviewed by the United States Supreme Court.
