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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) While it is not necessary that the defendant or his agent be within the forum, the non-resident defendant must do some act or consummate some transaction within the forum. (2) The cause of action must arise out of or result from the defendant’s activities in the forum. (3) Having established by Rules One and Two a minimum contact between the defendant and the state, the assumption of jurisdiction based upon the contact must be consistent with the due process tenets of “fair play” and “substantial justice.””
