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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where evidence is introduced in support of a party’s theory of a case, he is entitled to an instruction explaining the issue framed under such theory. [Citations omitted.] The instructions given must be germane to the issues raised by the pleadings, and must be limited to those issues supported by some evidence.” p. 676.”
