A quick definition of place of wrong:

Place of wrong: The place where the final action that makes someone responsible for a possible wrongdoing happens, usually in a specific state or location.

A more thorough explanation:

PLACE OF WRONG

The place, usually a state, where the final event occurs that makes someone responsible for a claimed wrongdoing.

For example, if someone is injured in a car accident in California, but the driver who caused the accident lives in Nevada, the place of wrong would be California because that is where the injury occurred. Another example would be if someone was defamed online in New York, but the person who posted the defamatory statement lives in Florida, the place of wrong would be New York because that is where the harm was done.

The term "place of wrong" refers to the location where the final event occurred that caused harm or injury to someone. This location is important because it determines which laws and courts will be used to address the wrongdoing. The examples illustrate how the place of wrong can be different from where the person responsible for the harm lives or is located.
