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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When jurisdiction is sought pursuant to the Virginia long-arm statute, a two-step inquiry is required: first, it must be determined whether the statutory language permits service of process on the non-resident defendant; and second, it must be determined whether the exercise of personal jurisdiction under the statute is consonant with the due process clause of the United States Constitution [cites omitted]. These two steps are interrelated, however, as the Virginia Long-Arm statute is a “deliberate and conscious effort on the part of the General Assembly of Virginia to assert jurisdiction over nonresident defendants to the extent permissible by the due process clause.” Carmichael v. Snyder, 209 Va. 451, 456 , 164 S.E.2d 703, 707 (1968).”
