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.
“Time spent is but one factor in determining the reasonableness of an attorney's fee. Although the better practice is for an attorney . . . to maintain time records, the failure to do so does not prelude the court from determining and awarding an attorney's fee. . . . Courts have a general knowledge of what would be a reasonable attorney's fee for services which are fairly stated and described.”
