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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Among the related but distinct rules which make up the law of the case doctrine are that: (1) upon remand for further proceedings, a trial court may not alter the resolution of a legal question previously decided by the appellate court in the matter; (2) upon a second appeal, an appellate court may not alter the resolution of a legal question previously decided by the same appellate court; and (3) upon transfer of a matter between trial judges of coordinate jurisdiction, the transferee trial court may not alter the resolution of a legal question previously decided by the transferor trial court.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“Departure from either of these principles is allowed only in exceptional circumstances such as [1] where there has been an intervening change in the controlling law, [2] a substantial change in the facts or evidence giving rise to the dispute in the matter, or [3] where the prior holding was clearly erroneous and would create a manifest injustice if followed.”
