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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * we are of opinion and so hold that, where the statute requires allowance of ‘a reasonable attorney’s fee,’ the trial court abused its appropriate discretion in allowing the attorneys for the plaintiffs-appellants an inadequate award of only $10,000 in attorneys’ fees for their excellent professional services. The successful prosecution of the corporate plaintiff’s suit required learning, skill and experience in the field of litigation involved and the expending of a tremendous amount of time and labor by the attorneys.” (p. 286)”
