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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[T]he evidence, including the exhibits the judge declined to consider, does not lead inexorably to the success of the plaintiffs’ position. The test for the judge’s factual determinations is whether they are supported by the manifest weight of the evidence. [Citation.] That is, after looking at all the admissible evidence, even, for purpose of argument, the newspaper clippings, can we say a conclusion opposite that of the trial judge is ‘clearly evident’? [Citation.] If we cannot say that, we are engaging in impermissible second-guessing.” 321 Ill. App. 3d at 786-87 (Wolfson, J., dissenting).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the dissent““I do not agree the trial judge’s finding of a lack of intent to create a trust rests on his apparently mistaken view that intangible rights cannot be the corpus of a trust. The judge’s first finding that there was no such intent had nothing to do with the corpus issue. * * * Lack of a permissible corpus was a second, alternative reason offered by the trial judge. It is not the sine qua non of his decision.” 321 Ill. App. 3d at 787 (Wolfson, J., dissenting).”
