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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Commonality does not require that all questions of fact or law be identical. See Johns v. De Leonardis, 145 F.R.D. 480, 483 (N.D.Ill.1992). Factual variation among class grievances does not defeat a finding of commonality. See Rosario, 963 F.2d at 1017 . Rather, this requirement is satisfied as long as “the class claims arise out of the same legal or remedial theory,” Johns, 145 F.R.D. at 483 . It is enough to satisfy commonality that there be a “common question ... at the heart of the ease.” Rosario, 963 F.2d at 1018 .”
