These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Louisiana employs an “interest analysis” that we have viewed in two steps. 9 First, a “governmental interest” analysis determines whether a false or true conflict exists. Sandefer Oil & Gas, Inc. v. Aig Oil Rig, Inc., 846 F.2d 819 (5th Cir.1988) (citing Jagers v. Royal Indemnity Co., 276 So.2d 309 (La.1973) and B. Currie, Selected Essays on the Conflict of Laws (1963)). If only one state has an interest then a false conflict exists and the law of the solely interested jurisdiction controls. Alternatively, if two or more states have an interest, then the court reaches the second step of Louisiana’s conflict of law analysis and applies the [Restatement (Second) of Conflict of Laws Js “most significant relationship” approach.”
