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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Although there is no rigid formula to apply to determine whether a witness is competent [citation], courts have held that the trial judge should consider four factors: the ability of the witness to receive correct impressions from his senses, to recollect those impressions, to understand questions, and to appreciate the moral duty to tell the truth.” Clark v. Otis Elevator Co., 274 Ill. App. 3d 253, 256-57 , 653 N.E.2d 771, 774 (1995).”
