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.
““ (c) Waiver of jury trial on issue. — If, in submitting the issues to the jury, the judge omits any issue of fact raised by the pleadings or by the evidence, each party waives his right to a trial by jury of the issue so omitted unless before the jury retires he demands its submission to the jury. As to an issue omitted without such demand the judge may make a finding; or, if he fails to do so, he shall be deemed to have made a finding in accord with the judgment entered.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The trial court is required to submit to the jury those issues ‘raised by the pleadings and supported by the evidence.’ An issue is supported by the evidence when there is substantial evidence, considered in the light most favorable to the non-movant, in support of that issue. ‘Substantial evidence is such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion.’”
