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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If one party has made a general demand ..., then the other parties may rely upon the demand; it includes all the issues that concern the demanding party and no other demand need be made by any party as to those issues. If the demand ... specifies the issues which the demandant wishes tried to the jury, Rule 38(c) provides that “any other party ... may serve a demand for trial by jury of any other or all of the issues of fact in the action.””
