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.

“"The rule was enacted, to protect a party against the disclosure of materials (work product) which it prepared or which someone on its behalf prepared, more likely than not at that party's own expense, in connection with the prosecution of that party's own action or the defense by that party of an action brought against it. The protection was intended to encompass documents prepared, by a party or someone acting on its behalf to aid that party in the litigation.””
