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.

“if, from the pleadings, the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Section 301(a) of the Labor Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 185 , provides subject matter jurisdiction for an action to vacate an arbitration award. Since § 301 does not specify a statute of limitations for commencing an action to vacate an arbitration award, the relevant state statute is borrowed. The Connecticut Arbitration Act establishes a thirty-day statute of limi tations on motions to vacate an arbitration award. Conn.Gen.Stat. § 52-420(b) [“No motion to vacate, modify or correct an award may be made after thirty (30) days from the notice of the award to the party to the arbitration who makes the motion.”]”
