The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“'When ruling on a motion for directed verdict, the trial court is required to resolve all facts and inferences reasonably to be drawn from the evidence in favor of the party against whom the ruling is sought. Where reasonable minds could reach different conclusions based on the evidence, the motion must be denied. A similar analysis must be applied by an appellate court when reviewing the grant or denial of a motion for directed verdict.'”

2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““Rule 141 is not just fluff — it means what it says and serves a necessary purpose. Contrary to the opinion of [movant’s] counsel, a moving party’s compliance with Rule 141(a) is even more crucial in complex cases than in simple ones. In accordance with the express language of the rule, the district court could not even hear the motion until the moving party was in compliance with the requirements of the rule. On this basis alone, the summary judgment. . . must be reversed.” 235 Kan. at 736 .”
