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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“under the circumstances, taking into consideration, among other things, the sum recovered for [State Farm], the difference between the fee [State Farm] is obligated to pay [its own attorney] and the amount it would have been obligated to pay him, or other competent counsel, if his efforts had been solely responsible for the settlement”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“in the effectuation of the settlement here involved, a distinct service was rendered [to the insurance company], that it could not otherwise have obtained without presumably paying some attorney (other than [Mr. Carter's] for that service.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“intended to say was that [Mr. Carter's attorney] did not perform any service ... he would not otherwise have performed for [Mr. Carter], then the findings upon which his judgment was apparently based were not sufficient to support it.”
