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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]t would be inconsistent with the fabric of national labor policy to infer ratification from the mere fact that petitioner [the Union] involved itself in the dispute after the violence had occurred, or from the fact that it carried on some normal union functions, such as provision of strike relief. A union would ordinarily undertake these tasks during the course of a lawful strike. National labor policy requires that national unions be encouraged to exercise a restraining influence on explosive strike situations; and when they seek to do so, they should not for these activities be make to risk liability for such harm as may already have been done.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Although the statute does not define clear proof, its history and rationale suggest that Congress meant at least to signify a meaning like that commonly accorded such similar phrases as “clear, unequivocable, and convincing proof.” Under this standard, the plaintiff in a civil case is not required to satisfy the criminal standard of reasonable doubt on the issue of participation, authorization, or ratification; neither may he prevail be meeting the ordinary civil burden of persuasion. He is required to persuade by substantial margin, to come forward with more than a bare preponderance of the evidence to prevail. United Mine Workers v. Gibbs, supra.”
