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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A pleading which sets forth a claim for relief, whether an original petition, counterclaim, cross-claim, or third party claim, shall contain “(a) a short statement of the cause of action sufficient to give fair notice of the claim involved, and “(b) a demand for judgment for the relief to which the party deems himself entitled. “Relief in the alternative or of several different types may be demanded.””
