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 65 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under our jury system, reasonably disputable issues of fact are to be resolved by the jury, and if a case is properly submitted to the jury’s determination, the losing party is not entitled as a matter of right to have a second chance upon a new trial before a different jury, even though the evidence submitted would have warranted the opposite verdict, and even though the trial judge, had he been sitting without a jury, might have found the facts the other way. # # * »”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“the juror in question, because of mental disturbance, [had] been receiving disability compensation from the Veterans Bureau, that he [had] difficulty in sleeping and concentrating; that his memory [was] not good; that he [had] had depressed periods during which he entertained the idea of suicide; that he [had] had to undergo treatment for anxiety reaction to a psychic episode expressed by auditory hallucinations; that he has been under the care of a psychiatrist for an extended period, with little prospect of an early overcoming of his difficulties.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“In so far as [a Rule 59(e) motion] ... presents some new matter which was not before the court at the time it entered the judgment — for instance, if the motion is based upon newly discovered evidence, ... — then if the aggrieved party wishes to present to the appellate court the contention that the trial court erred as a matter of law in denying the [Rule 59(e) motion], he cannot do so by appealing from the final judgment alone; he must file a notice of appeal from the subsequent order denying the motion. This he may do, for such order of denial, after entry of judgment, amounts to a decision to let the judgment stand ... and since nothing further remains to be determined in the cause, the order of denial is a “final decision....””
