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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“statutes that ... relate to the modes of procedure ... do not contravene the general proscription against the retrospective operation of legislation. See generally Federal Broadcasting Sys. v. Federal Communications Comm’n, 99 U.S.App.D.C. 320, 323 , 239 F.2d 941, 944 (1956) (“If the amendment is either procedural or remedial in character the settled rule permits its retroactive application”); 73 Am. JuR.2d Statutes § 354 (1974) (although contrary authority exists, generally “statutes relating to remedies or modes of procedure which do not create new or take away vested rights, but only operate in furtherance of the remedy or confirmation of such rights, do not normally come within the legal conception of a retrospective law, or the general rule against the retrospective operation of statutes”); 82 C.J.S. Statutes § 421 (1953) (“As a general rule statutes relating to remedies and procedure are given retrospective construction”).”
