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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Before awarding attorney’s fees, the trial court must make specific findings of fact concerning: (1) the ability of the intervenors to defray the cost of the suit, i.e., that the intervenors are unable to employ adequate counsel in order to proceed as a litigant to meet the other litigants in the suit; (2) the good faith of the intervenors in proceeding in this suit; (3) the lawyer’s skill; (4) the lawyer’s hourly rate; (5) the nature and scope of the legal services rendered.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Although plaintiff assigned error to findings of fact numbers 12, 13, and 18, she has failed to argue in her brief that they are not supported by competent evidence. These findings are therefore binding on appeal. N.C. R. App. P. 28(b)(6) (2008).”
