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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Section] 71-3-109(3) is not a statutory directive that takes the place of Mississippi’s ordinary choice-of-law rules, which remain antecedent to application of § 71-3-109(3). Therefore, before the district court may consider § 71-3- 109(3), it must find that Mississippi choice-of-law rules direct it to apply Mississippi law. If consideration of those choice-of-law rules directs the district court to Alabama law, then § 71-3-109(3) is irrelevant. 5”
