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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The fact alone that there is a conjunctive submission is not a ‘cure-all’ which necessarily and automatically makes harmless an erroneous portion of an instruction. On the contrary each instruction must be examined to determine whether, after the application of the ‘rule of conjunctive submission,’ a given instruction is, despite conjunctive submission, prejudicially erroneous.””
