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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It has been held that an assignment of a chose in action to an attorney is valid where it is made in good faith and in consideration of a past indebtedness. Sampliner v. Motion Picture P. Co., 254 U.S. 233 , 41 Sup. Ct. 79. Under the facts in that case it was held to be a question for the jury to determine whether the transaction was made in good faith or not. See Sampliner v. Motion Picture P. Co., 255 Fed. 242 , where the matter of champertous contracts is dealt with at considerable length.”
