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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under the above rule [No. 144, Use of Depositions], unless we intend to tack some additional requirement on it, plaintiff may put defendant’s deposition in evidence as part of the plaintiff’s ease, so far as the deposition is admissible and relevant. In fact plaintiff can make his whole case on defendant’s deposition if he so desires. He could always prove his case by statements of defendant made out of court or put the defendant on as his own witness. It is no longer necessary to make defendant your own witness. Rule 145(b), Rules of Civil Procedure. This is one of the rights extended under the discovery depositions. Some districts now do this freely, others apparently do not. This right should be made clear.””
