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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The Dramshop Act does not merely provide dramshops with immunity or an affirmative defense to an intoxicated patron’s suit. Rather, dramshops are not exposed to any liability under the Dramshop Act to intoxicated patrons who suffer injuries as a result of their own intoxication. *** A dramshop, thus, is not subject to liability to such persons within the meaning of the Contribution Act.” Jodelis, 118 Ill. 2d at 487-88 .”
