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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““* * * this Court has committed itself to the doctrine that the right to compensation is not barred by reason of the fact that the employee’s injury or death occurred outside the premises of the employer where ‘the place of injury was brought within the scope of employment by an express or implied requirement of the contract of employment, of its use by the servant in going to and returning from [his] work.’””
