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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The last clear chance doctrine is not to be invoked exclusively against a defendant but it may affect a plaintiff as well, so that if the latter sees the situation and knows that an injury could be avoided by action on his part at that juncture, it is his duty to take such action, although the defendant by his negligence brought about the perilous condition of affairs.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Rew v. Dorn““It would seem that the evidence sought to be adduced by this question would come within the operation of that section (Or. L., § 879) as an offer to compromise, and hence would not be admissible against the defendant.””
