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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Whether we are hearing an original motion for transfer to a pretrial court under Rule 13.3, or reviewing an order by a pretrial court remanding a matter on the ground that it is not a tag-along case under Rule 13.5(e), our duty is the same: we must determine whether the cases in question involve one or more common questions of fact and whether placing them together in the same pretrial court will serve the convenience of the parties and witnesses and promote the just and efficient conduct of the litigation.”
