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.
““ * * * Clearly, a valid contract between plaintiff and defendants was created when plaintiff entered defendants’ employ as a policeman. Both parties acquired rights and assumed obligations thereunder. One of these provisions was § 5-113, and the parties accordingly are bound thereby. “We conclude that the claim that the city has taken ‘funds of appellant without just compensation’ is without merit, that the contract between plaintiff and the city is a valid one, and that his claim of ‘overreaching’ has no merit.””
