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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"the relevant inquiry is ... whether the client made a reasonable inquiry to determine the legal sufficiency of the document." The [Supreme] Court, in defining what would constitute a "reasonable inquiry," stated: [T]he good faith reliance of [plaintiffs], as represented parties, on their attorneys' advice that their claims were warranted under the law is sufficient to establish an objectively reasonable belief in the legal validity of their claims.”
