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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

Factors to be considered in making an attorney's fee award include the earning capacity of the parties, results of the litigation, and the financial circumstances of the parties."”
