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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“By granting a new-trial order, the court effectively "disposed" of the motion for [judgment notwithstanding the verdict] until appellate review. By their very nature, a new-trial order and order for [judgment notwithstanding the verdict] are mutually inconsistent and may not be granted simultaneously. At most, the trial court may grant one and alternatively grant the other on the express condition that the latter only becomes effective if the former is reversed on appeal. Indeed, one of the primary reasons for allowing alternative motions for new trial and [judgment notwithstanding the verdict] is to promote judicial economy by consolidating the two issues on appeal.”
