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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Upon an appeal from an award of the Board the courts are authorized merely to examine the record in order to determine if the evidence introduced is relevant and substantial and, if so, they have no choice except to sustain the award, even though there may be considerable proof pointing the other way. Stated somewhat differently, it may be said that the award must stand unless there is an absence of material evidence of probative force to buttress the Board’s finding.””
