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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A written provision in ... a contract evidencing a transaction involving commerce to settle by arbitration a controversy thereafter arising out of such contract or transaction, or the refusal to perform the whole or any part thereof, or an agreement in writing to submit to arbitration an existing controversy arising out of such a contract, transaction, or refusal ...”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The significant question therefore (in determining whether a contract evidences a transaction involving commerce), is not whether, in carrying out the terms of the contract, the parties did cross state lines, but whether, at the time they entered into it and accepted the arbitration clause, they contemplated substantial interstate activity. Cogent evidence regarding their state of mind at the time would be the terms of the contract, and if it, on its face, evidences interstate traffic ... the contract should come within § 2. In addition, evidence as to how the parties expected the contract to be performed and how it was performed is relevant to whether substantial interstate activity was contemplated. 287 F.2d at 387 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“sole objective in filing the pleadings was the recognition and judicial enforcement of its right to arbitration.... [T]he motion to dismiss did not contest the merits of the partition, it merely asked the court to dismiss the cause without prejudice to respondent's reinstituting suit depending on the outcome of arbitration.”
