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

    2 later decisions quote this exact passage
  3. “this [c]ourt is limited to determining whether the trial court abused its discretion.”
