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 right to demand and compel arbitration of a controversy or dispute presupposes the existence of a valid and enforceable agreement for arbitration and challenge in court may be made to the existence of such an agreement. . . . `Simply put, the legal existence of the arbitral tribunal depends on contract. It is from that agreement between the parties that their very being, or jurisdiction and power to act, derives. Unless such contract, when seasonably challenged, is declared valid and enforceable, therefore, the arbitral tribunal can never legally come into being.'”
