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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he term “employee” shall also include a sole proprietor or a partner who devotes full time to the proprietorship or partnership. Further, however, it is to be understood that any sole proprietor or partner of a partnership who desires not to be included in the definition of employee may file for and receive a certification of noncoverage under this chapter from the commission and thereafter, or until he elects otherwise, to be conclusively presumed not to be an employee for purposes of this chapter.”
