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.

““Summary judgment procedure is not designed to try an issue of fact but rather to determine whether one exists. If, upon examination of the record it can be fairly said that there does exist a triable issue of fact then the motion for summary judgment should be denied.” Fletcher v. Boxx (5th Dist. 1973), 10 Ill.App.3d 928, 929 , 295 N.E.2d 248, 249 .”
