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.
““An oral contract made between B. and W., by which the latter agreed to use his influence to induce a third person to convey a tract of land to B., in consideration of which B. agreed to reconvey 20 acres of said tract to W., is not specifically enforceable in a suit in equity by W., upon the theory that the transaction was a joint adventure and the contract created a trust relation between B. and W.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““We think the services rendered by plaintiff in the instant case are not of such character that their value cannot be readily measured by a pecuniary standard. The value of his services can be easily and readily established, and he must therefore resort to an action at law to recover compensation therefor.””
