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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Unlike a motion for directed verdict or judgment n. o. v., this issue involves the trial judge’s discretion. Upon those portions of the record referred to above, we are of the opinion that ‘there was an evi-dentiary basis for the jury’s decisions,’ and therefore cannot find that the trial judge clearly abused his discretion in denying appellant’s motion for a new trial.” (footnotes omitted)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““In his instructions to the jury, the trial court properly instructed the jury as to the effect of a violation of a highway regulation in the event they concluded appellee had in fact violated a highway regulation. The court’s instructions correctly embodied the standard adopted in Rogers v. Dubiel, 373 P.2d 296 (Alaska 1962).””
