Alaska Civil Pattern Jury Instruction 13.01
Simple Trespass and Denial - Intentional Entry
The plaintiff claims that the defendant trespassed on the plaintiff's property.
To determine whether the defendant trespassed, you must decide whether it is more likely true than not true that:
(1) the defendant entered the property;
(2) the plaintiff was in possession of the property when the entry occurred; and
(3) the defendant's entry was intentional.
The entry was intentional if the defendant intended to be in that location. An entry can be intentional even if the defendant mistakenly thought [he] [she] [it] had a right to be on the property.
If you decide that all three of these things are more likely true than not true, then you must [decide in favor of the plaintiff on this claim.] [decide whether the defendant's entry on the property was allowed by law. I will tell you how to do this in a moment.]
Otherwise, you must decide in favor of the defendant.
