Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 96 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

“According to some legal scholars, there are only three categories of the degrees of proof. They are (1) the fact in issue probably has happened; (2) it is highly probable that the fact in issue has happened; and (3) the fact in issue has most certainly happened. . . . There are three measures of persuasion: proof by a preponderance of the evidence; proof by the stricter standard such as `clear and convincing'; and proof beyond a reasonable doubt. . . .”
