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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““With reference to the question whether the child’s next friend is one authorized to file a claim on his behalf, a claimant’s right of action under the applicable statutes is ordinarily vested in the personal representative of the decedent. 46 U.S.C. §§ 688 , 761. In this instance, the decedent was unmarried and there is no conflict of interest or ill-feeling between the child’s representative and the administrator of the decedent’s estate such as would warrant an exception to the rule.””
