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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We have often held that the only actions in which Minn. Const, art 1, § 4 * * * and Rule 38.01 * * * guarantee the right to a jury trial are those which were conceived of as ‘legal’ so that such a right existed with respect to them, at the time the Minnesota constitution was adopted. The language of Rule 38.01 is merely an attempt to list those actions which were then, and are now, thought of as ‘legal’ as distinguished from ‘equitable.’”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“The right of trial by jury shall remain inviolate, and shall extend to all cases at law without regard to the amount in controversy.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“In actions for the recovery of money only, or of specific real or personal property, the issues of fact shall be tried by a jury, unless a jury trial is waived or a reference is ordered.”
