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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““From the foregoing quoted portions of the Morgan case it is seen that we have recognized what Larson on Workmen’s Compensation refers to as a ‘legitimate interest’. (See 2 Larson on Workmen’s Compensation Law, pp. 370 to 372.) Montana was the state wherein Biggs and his wife and children resided and is the state where the widow and children still reside. Montana is the state which will provide for the support and care should they become public charges. Montana has every interest in the claim except the situs of the accident itself.” ( 140 Mont, at 153 , 369 P.2d at 36 ).”
