Abstract-
Therese Terlaje and TeloTaitague reformed much awaited medical malpractice claims law with the addition of pre-trial screening to the whole process without touching the arbitration part of it. The Medical Malpractice Mandatory Arbitration Act requires arbitration for malpractice claims before the matter can be taken to court. Superior Court of Guam Judge Arthur Barcinas stated in one case that the act “places a burden of keeping malpractice insurance premiums low and maintaining affordable health care on one small and vulnerable sector of society, namely non-wealthy victims of medical malpractice.”
