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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8 requires only that “[a] pleading which sets forth a claim for relief [must] ... contain (1) a short and plain statement of the grounds upon which the court’s jurisdiction depends ... (2) a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief, and (3) a demand for judgment for the relief the pleader seeks.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a). There are no heightened pleading requirements for medical malpractice cases contained in Rule 8(a). In fact, the Supreme Court has held that it is inappropriate for a federal court to require pleading beyond Rule 8’s basic formula.”
