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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If, upon a preponderance of the evidence after a trial upon the merits, the court finds— “. . . that the violation of section 481 of this title may have affected the outcome of an election, “the court shall declare the election, if any, to be void and direct the conduct of a new election under [the] supervision of the Secretary and, so far as lawful and practicable, in conformity with the constitution and bylaws of the labor organization.” (Emphasis added)”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“If there are no material facts which are contested it would be sheer folly to require the expense and delay of a trial when other methods of resolution are available. Finally, Rule 56 itself has strict requirements which must be satisfied before summary judgment can be granted. Thus, we hold that there is nothing inherent in § 402 [ 29 U.S.C. § 482 (c) ] which requires a trial in every case.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Trial courts, as indicated by the Advisory Committee’s Notes to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b), have broad powers to regulate or prevent discovery and such powers have always been freely exercised.””
