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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The so-called pre-trial order was preliminary and recognized that the parties ‘anticipate extensive discovery.’ The government has said that it will furnish a list of its witnesses at an appropriate time. The record contains no showing by defendants of their need, or the reasons for their need, of the disclosure of the identity of the informants. The defend ants know the 30b classifications, the pay rolls, and the type of work done by each employee. The government has specified individuals, classifications, and types of machines which it deems pertinent to its case. “The request of the defendants is made in connection with discovery_ Orderly trial procedure requires that in due time the government must list its witnesses. We have not yet reached that stage in the proceedings.””
