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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he Federal Rules of Civil Procedure envision a system of simplified pleadings that give notice of the general claim asserted, allow for the preparation of a basic defense, narrow the issues to be litigated, and provide a means for quick disposition of sham claims. Federal pleadings are designed for integration into a system of pre-trial motions, discovery and conferences, which further sharpen the claims to be litigated and which expedite the process of adjudication.”
