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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This Court’s experience, both at the bench and bar over extended years, qualifies it to estimate the time reasonably required by plaintiffs’ claims in terms of research, analysis and drafting of various documents. Moreover, the Court’s own research, study and analysis of the respective contentions of the parties further afford some yardstick by which to measure plaintiffs’ attorney’s allegations of the time factor. Any expenditure of time beyond that which is reasonably required suggests either inexperience and devotion of more time than warranted to fairly and properly present claims or, alternatively, that the attorneys, however experienced, engaged in dilettantism; a losing side is not required to pay for such indulgences.”
