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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Court sees the savings clause rationally serving the legitimate state purpose of easing the possible burdens on plaintiffs in suits against out-of-state defendants. Since service of process under the long-arm statute is more difficult and time consuming to achieve than service within the state, and since out-of-state defendants may be difficult to locate let alone serve, tolling the statute of limitations protects Ohio plaintiffs and facilitates their law suits against such defendants. The Court therefore concludes that it is not irrational for the Ohio Legislature to distinguish between in-state and out-of-state defendants. 510 F.Supp. at 223 .”
