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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““In reviewing [a] contention that the trial court erred in fading to grant a directed verdict, we view the evidence in a light that is most favorable to the non-moving party and give that party the benefit of all reasonable inferences that fairly can be drawn from the evidence. When viewed in this light, if there is any substantial evidence to sustain the cause of action or defense, it must be submitted to the finder of fact. ‘If sufficient evidence exists so that reasonable minds could differ, a directed verdict is not appropriate.’ Sabag v. Continental South Dakota, 374 N.W.2d 349, 355 (S.D.1985).””
