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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “* * * Although we `cannot hold a trial court to be in error in failing to decide an issue not put before it in a civil action * * * it does not follow that we can never decide such an issue or remand a case to the [trial court] with direction to decide it.' Stouper v. Jones, 109 U.S.App.D.C. 106, 109, 284 F.2d 240 , 243 (concurring opinion of Judge Bazelon). The Supreme Court has said, `we have power not only to correct error in the judgment under review but to make such disposition of the case as justice requires.' Patterson v. State of Alabama, 294 U.S. 600 , 607, 55 S.Ct. 575, 79 L.Ed. 1082. This Court also has this power. 28 U.S.C. § 2106.”
