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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Upon examination of the record we find that any order we might make would be futile, as the contract, by its terms, expired on the above-mentioned date and plaintiffs’ cause of action in no event could avail them anything. We have not overlooked the importance of the issue involved, but we must adhere to our long-established rule to the effect that this court does not pass judgments which can have no practical effect.” (Italics supplied.)”
