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.

3 later decisions quote this exact passage“The requisite strength of connection would include ownership, ageney, or employment. Ownership must be more than membership in a mutual insurance company, agency includes membership on an insurer's board of directors or claims review committes, and employment must be something beyond the expert's fee for services in the matter being adjudicated.”
