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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Under Illinois law, [the plaintiffs] claim against the City pursuant to respondeat superior is permissible if the individual police officers’ conduct was within the scope of their employment.... Conduct is within the scope of employment if: “(a) it is of the kind he is employed to perform; (b) it occurs substantially within the authorized time and space limits; [and] (c) it is actuated, at least in part, by a purpose to serve the master.” ... Conduct is not within the scope of employment if the employee’s actions were different from those authorized ... or were performed purely in the employee’s self interest.”
