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.
““To the extent that they are applicable and not inconsistent with this Act * * * civil and criminal laws of each adjacent State as of the effective date of this Act are hereby declared to be the law of the United States for that portion of the subsoil and seabed of the outer Continental Shelf, * * gee page 624 of the opinion.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““The Louisiana statute contains venue requirements that an action be brought in the parish where the accident or injury occurred or in the parish where the insured or insurer is domiciled. Thus is shown, we think, an intent on the part of the Louisiana Legislature that the accident or injury upon which a direct action may be maintained be one occurring within a parish of the State. The existence of federal jurisdiction over suits under the Louisiana statute does not change the effect to be given to the venue provisions of the Act in determining the legislative intent. We need not determine whether Louisiana could have authorized a claimant to bring a direct action against the tortfeasor’s insurer where the accident or injury occurred outside of the State. It did not do so, and not having done so, we think the appellant here cannot maintained a direct action.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“In §§ 3(a) and 4(a) (1), the jurisdiction and plenary control of the United States is extended to the seabed and subsoil of entire outer Continental Shelf adjacent to the shores of the United States instead of merely to the natural resources of the subsoil and seabed and to structures for their development * * *. * * * At the same time, an amendment to the wording of Section 3(b) makes abundantly clear the unequivocal legislative intent of the committee that the jurisdiction asserted is a `horizontal jurisdiction', extending only to the seabed and subsoil, and does not in any wise affect the character as high seas of the waters above that seabed and subsoil nor their use with respect to navigation and fishing.”
