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.
“Plaintiff’s counsel was advised in advance of the date and time of the telephone conference call. He was instructed to have present at plaintiff’s nursing home at the time of the conference call, a notary to administer the oath to the witnesses and a videotape operator to record the witnesses’ testimony. He was also instructed to provide the plaintiff with exact legible copies of all exhibits to be introduced. The purpose of this was to insure that plaintiff, after identifying each exhibit, could hold it up to the camera to be videotaped, thus permitting the court when reviewing the tape, to ensure that the marked exhibits and the copies in plaintiff’s possession were the same.”
