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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`[A] client claiming that his [or her] attorney was negligent in connection with litigation has the burden of proving that damages resulted, this burden involving, usually, the difficult task of demonstrating that, but for the negligence complained of, the client would have been successful in the prosecution or defense of the action in question.' (Annot. (1956) 45 A.L.R.2d 19 , 21, § 5.) `Thus the issue of liability includes not only a showing the attorney was negligent but also a showing his [or her] negligence caused damage.' ( Cook v. Superior Court (1971) 19 Cal. App.3d 832, 834 [ 97 Cal. Rptr. 189 ].)”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“'is not to afford a review of the jury's deliberation but to prevent a miscarriage of justice in those cases where the verdict rendered is without foundation.' [Citation.]”
