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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"`The term "cy pres" is derived from the Norman French expression cy pres comme possible, which means "as near as possible."' Democratic Cent. Comm. v. Washington Metro. Area Transit Comm'n, 84 F.3d 451 , 455 n. 1 (D.C.Cir. 1996). The cy pres doctrine originated as a rule of construction to save a testamentary charitable gift that would otherwise fail, allowing `the next best use of the funds to satisfy the testator's intent as near as possible.' Id. (internal quotation omitted). Courts have also utilized cy pres distributions where class members `are difficult to identify or where they change constantly,' or where there are unclaimed funds. Powell [v. Georgia -Pac. Corp.], 119 F.3d [703] at 706 [(8th Cir.1997)]. `In [703] these cases, the court, guided by the parties' original purpose, directs that the unclaimed funds be distributed "for the indirect prospective benefit of the class."' Id. (quoting 2 Newberg and A. Conte, Newberg on Class Actions, § 10.17 at 10-41 (3d ed.1992)); see also Democratic Cent. Comm., 84 F.3d at 455 (cy pres distributions to `the next best class')."”
