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 115 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A new trial is a reexamination of an issue of fact in the same court after a trial and decision by a jury, court, or referee.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[T]here may be a `trial' and hence a situation proper for a new trial motion where only issues of law are determined. . . . As a matter of orderly procedure there is no less reason why the trial court should have a second chance to reexamine its judgment where issues of fact are involved than where issues of law or law and fact are decided.”
