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.

Mr. Clark offered various opinions about many of the central issues in this case. The majority of Mr. Clark's opinions do appear beyond his expertise. This particular opinion, however, appears to be directly based on his experience and training in martial arts.”
