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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “A long line of cases ... have recited as a rule that objection on the ground of lack of proper foundation without stating what the proper foundation should be is insufficient and presents nothing for review. In suggesting that objecting counsel must educate opposing counsel on how to establish the missing foundational elements, the standard formidation of this rule is misleading. Rather, ... this rule is simply a statement of the general principle that counsel must assert objections with specificity to enable the trial court to intelligently rule on the objection and to create a clear record for the appellate court.”

  2. “`lack of foundation' has no single defined meaning, [and] an objection of `lack of foundation' generally is of little or no use to a trial judge.”
