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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Administrative difficulties follow for courts when litigation is piled up in congested centers instead of being handled at its origin. Jury duty is a burden that ought not to be imposed upon the people of a community which has no relation to the litigation_There is an appropriateness, too, in having the trial ... in a forum that is at home with the state law that.must govern the case, rather than having a court in some other forum untangle problems in conflict of laws, and in law foreign to itself.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The two most important factors for the court to consider [in making the determination of whether to dismiss a suit on the basis of forum non conveniens] are (1) a plaintiffs choice of the place of suit will not be disturbed except for weighty reasons, and (2) no action will be dismissed unless an alternative forum is available to the plaintiff.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Inconvenient forum.—When a tribunal finds that in the interest of substantial justice the matter should be -heard in another forum, the tribunal may stay or dismiss the matter in whole or in part on any conditions that may be just.”
