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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Where a summary judgment adjudicates a claim on its merits, the judgment invokes the doctrine of res judicata. RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF JUDGMENTS § 19, comment g (1980). The summary judgment in Liddle I was such an adjudication. Although the present action purports to focus upon a different aspect of the attorney’s conduct in the Zinn case, the underlying claim of malpractice is the same as that asserted in Liddle I. The present action, therefore, is barred by res judicata in the form of claim preclusion.”
