CHAPTER 3. JURISDICTION IN GENERAL
TOPIC 3. INSTURMENTALITIES FOR EXERCISING JURISDICTION
TITLE B. LEGISLATIVE JURISDICTION
§ 60. Exercise of Legislative Jurisdiction
C.A.10, 2020. Com. (b) quot. in sup. Environmental groups challenged a determination by the National
Park Service that a federal wildlife regulation, which prohibited hunting in national parks, did not apply
to state- or privately-owned lands known as inholdings that were located within the exterior
boundaries of Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. The district court affirmed the National Park
Service's action. This court affirmed in part, holding that the National Park Service's determination that
the regulation did not apply to the park's private inholdings was not contrary to law or arbitrary and
capricious. The court cited the definition of legislative jurisdiction set forth in Restatement of Conflict of
Laws § 60 in reasoning, in part, that Wyoming did not cede to the National Park Service its legislative
jurisdiction over private inholdings in the park. Defenders of Wildlife v. Everson, 984 F.3d 918, 925.
CHAPTER 9. WRONGS
TOPIC 1. TORTS
§ 377. The Place of Wrong
C.A.2, 2021. Cit. in ftn. and in treatise cit. in ftn. (general cite). U.S. Department of Justice official sued
newspaper, alleging that defendant published a defamatory declaration made by a Department intern
asserting that plaintiff made unwelcome sexual contact with a coworker. The district court granted
defendant's motion to dismiss. This court affirmed, holding, inter alia, that plaintiff's claim was barred
by the New York fair-report privilege against defamation claims, because defendant was domiciled in
New York, and the purportedly defamatory statement originated from New York. The court noted that,
while New York had traditionally applied the law of the place of the tort as set forth by the Restatement
of Conflict of Laws in resolving conflict-of-laws issues in tort claims, it now followed the modern
approach as set forth by the Restatement Second of Conflict of Laws, which examined whether another
state had a more significant relationship to the issue or the parties. Kinsey v. New York Times
Company, 991 F.3d 171, 177.
