Alaska R. Civ. P. 20

(a) Permissive Joinder. All persons may join in one

action as plaintiffs if they assert any right to relief jointly,

severally, or in the alternative in respect of or arising out of the

same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or

occurrences and if any question of law or fact common to all

these persons will arise in the action. All persons may be

joined in one action as defendants if there is asserted against

them jointly, severally, or in the alternative, any right to relief

in respect of or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence,

or series of transactions or occurrences and if any question of

law or fact common to all of them will arise in the action. A

plaintiff or defendant need not be interested in obtaining or

defending against all the relief demanded. Judgment may be

given for one or more of the plaintiffs according to their

respective rights to relief, and against one or more defendants

according to their respective liabilities.

(b) Separate Trials. The court may make such orders as

will prevent a party from being embarrassed, delayed or put to

expense by the inclusion of a party against whom the party

asserts no claim and who asserts no claim against the party,

and may order separate trials or make other orders to prevent

delay or prejudice.
