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 52 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The goal of the single publication rule as to venue is to protect the defendant from a multiplicity of suits, from a continuous tolling of the statute of limitations, and from the application of diverse laws to a single event. See Prosser, Law of Torts § 113 (4th ed. 1971). Rather than accomplish these necessary goals through the jurisdictional statutes, however, they may be more logically effectuated through requiring the plaintiff to collect all his damages in a single action, measuring the running of the statute of limitations from the initial publication, see, e.g., Forman, supra, 195 Miss. at 107 , 14 So.2d at 347 ..."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“(1) The non-resident defendant or foreign corporation must purposely do some act or consummate some transaction in the forum state, (2) the cause of action must arise from, or be connected with, such act or transaction, and (3) The assumption of jurisdiction by the forum state must not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice, consideration being given to the quality, nature and extent of the activity in the forum state, the relative convenience of the parties, the benefits and protection of the laws óf the forum state afforded the respective parties, and the basic equities of the situation.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“AP’s activities in Mississippi indicate that AP has engaged in sufficient local activity to justify, under the due process clause, Mississippi’s exercise of its jurisdiction. AP maintains five news correspondents in Mississippi as well as a maintenance employee. Moreover, these employees occupy an office in the state, although the office is offered without rent by two AP members and it is not designated as an AP office in the building directory. More significantly, the news report upon which plaintiff’s libel action is predicated was aimed exclusively at Mississippi.”
