For this part of the assignment, assume that Mr. Millstein’s claim arises in Alaska. You now need to research Alaska law. Specifically, you need to determine whether Mr. Millstein might be able to pursue a claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress based on Ms. Westerfeld’s actions.

Options for filtering the search results appear on the left. Because the search was not pre-filtered by type of authority, the results are not limited to cases (which Bloomberg Law calls court opinions).
