California Court of Appeal

In plaintiff's professional negligence action against her accountant and representatives of brokerage firms, trial court's order denying arbitration is reversed in part and affirmed in part where the FAA does not preempt application of the CAA to an arbitration agreement in which the parties have agreed to be governed by California law, but the FAA does preempt when they have not so agreed.
