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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The judgment was entered solely because a minor was involved and because the law requires such a procedure. Liability was denied, the customary releases and covenants not to sue were executed, and the judgment released. Under the circumstances, the formal judgment entered carried no more weight than the ordinary settlement agreement, covenant not to sue, and the indemnity agreement.”
