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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"You folks can bring in anything from fifty to one hundred thousand dollars, which is the amount of the ad damnum, which is the right amount here and we are not going to have any personal concern, and the Johnson Bros, don’t. There is nothing personal.” (Reed, 55 Ill. App. 2d at 76 .)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““In stating that defendant has no personal concern about the amount of the verdict, counsel clearly and, we think, deliberately implied the existence of insurance. We feel that the court should have sustained the objection and failure to do so constituted prejudicial error.” ( 55 Ill. App. 2d 67, 76 .)”
