New ABA book serves as an essential health law litigation resource
Contract-based litigation can arise in a myriad of ways in the field of health care. A new book by the ABA Section of Litigation’s Health Law Committee, “An Introduction to Health Law Litigation Based on Contract and Government Claims,” addresses the most common areas in which participants in the health care system face contract-based litigation.
The book serves as a valuable tool for litigators seeking to gain experience in health law litigation. Each chapter serves as a standalone primer on a specific topic and provides an overview of the relevant area of the law, along with practical advice on the issues that usually arise and a discussion of the strategies that practitioners employ when faced with a case in that area. Topics covered include the pros and cons of litigation versus arbitration, issues surrounding the licensing of health care facilities, privacy and cybersecurity claims, intellectual property claims, Medicare and Medicaid audits and many more.
“An Introduction to Health Law Litigation Based on Contract and Government Claims” is written by members of the ABA Section of Litigation’s Health Law Committee and edited by Aaron Krauss. This collective effort offers practical advice on how to try health law cases and suggestions for “issue spotting” and case management.

Judge denies Bashara new trial in wife’s death
DETROIT (AP) — A suburban Detroit man found guilty by a jury of having his wife killed so he could devote himself to a life of bondage and domination with another woman was denied Friday his request for a new trial.
Bob Bashara wanted his conviction and life sentence for first-degree murder thrown out, saying his rights were violated by an ineffective defense by trial attorneys.
But Wayne County Circuit Judge Vonda Evans, in a blistering 33-minute statement, told Bashara that he and his appellate attorney failed to prove he received poor defense at trial.
Instead, the judge dressed down the 57-year-old for his machinations in the 2012 slaying of Jane Bashara in the couple’s Grosse Pointe Park home. Her body was found inside her Mercedes-Benz in a Detroit alley.
“You planned, groomed and masterminded this ... plot to murder your wife and dump her body in Detroit like garbage with a staged crime scene in one of the poorest areas of Detroit hoping locals would steal the car and contaminate the crime scene,” Evans told Bob Bashara.
Evans also said Friday that she found no miscarriage of justice and no newly discovered evidence that would exonerate Bashara.
