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 206 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Any need to plead facts that, if true, establish each element of a “cause of action” was abolished by the Rules of Civil Procedure in 1938, which to signify the radical change from code pleading also replaced “cause of action” with “claim for relief.” One pleads a “claim for relief’ by briefly describing the events. At this stage the plaintiff receives the benefit of imagination, so long as the hypotheses are consistent with the complaint. Matching facts against legal elements comes later.”
