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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As Judge Learned Hand has said: ‘a reputation, like a face, is the symbol of its possessor and creator’. Thus a claim of one plaintiff for damages to his reputation is so peculiarly personal as to be clearly ‘separate and independent’ from the similar claims of each of the other plaintiffs. The suit, therefore, was properly removed to this Court under § 1441(c) * * “The circumstances that there will be questions of law and fact common to all these claims and that they arise out of the same occurrences do not change the separate and independent nature of each plaintiff’s claims. Neither does the fact that they have elected to join their claims in one action.” Id. at 727.”
