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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Private interests include “[t]he relative ease of access to sources of proof; availability of compulsory process for attendance of unwilling, and the cost of obtaining attendance of willing, witnesses; possibility of view of premises, if view would be appropriate to the action; and all other practical problems that make trial of a case easy, expeditious and inexpensive.””
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“Although no rationale was offered by appellant for his choice of forum, his selection suggests that, while home may be where the heart is, it is not necessarily where the largest recovery lies.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““We therefore conclude that, because [plaintiff] is a resident of the transferee jurisdiction, Baltimore County, his choice of Prince George’s County, which ‘has no meaningful ties to the controversy and no particular interest in the parties or subject matter,’ is entitled to little deference and thus little weight when the factors for and against transfer are weighed. Offsetting whatever minimal weight is attributable to appellant’s choice, under the circumstances of this case, is the fact that, in addition to being appellant’s residence, Baltimore County is the place where the accident occurred.””
