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.
““1. The summary judgment is contrary to law. “2. The trial court erred in ruling that the statutes were ambiguous and the law not clearly established regarding the termination of volunteer firemen by township trustees at the time plaintiff-appellant was summarily removed. “3. The summary removal of a volunteer fireman by township trustees without notice or hearing or due process of law is clearly a violation of his protected property right in his employment. “4. The three (3) township trustees knew or should have known that the summary removal of a volunteer fireman without due process of law was a violation of his civil rights and therefore said three (3) trustees do not have qualified immunity in a suit for damages under 42 U.S.C. 1983.””
