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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A plaintiff in a legal malpractice action must establish that the loss would not have occurred but for the attorney’s conduct. A plaintiff must prove: (1) The original claim was valid; (2) It would have resulted in a judgment in his favor; and (3) The judgment would have been collectible. A plaintiff alleging a legal malpractice action must prove a case within a case, meaning a showing of the viability and likelihood of success of the underlying action.”
