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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Consideration of personal jurisdiction under subsection (b)(1) necessarily invokes the limitation in subsection (a) that the cause of action arise from an act enumerated in (b)(1). Although subsection (a) does not provide any substantive limitation which exeeds that imposed by the Due Process Clause, see Malinow v. Eberly, 322 F.Supp. 594, 598-600 (D.Md.1971), it does require that ‘some purposeful acts [have been] performed by the defendant in Maryland in relation to one or more of the elements of the cause of action,’ id. at 599 . Accord Snyder v. Hampton Industries, Inc., 521 F.Supp. 130, 145-46 (D.Md.1981); McLaughlin v. Copeland, 435 F.Supp. 513, 522-23 (D.Md.1977).””
