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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is contended that its exclusion was prejudicial, in that it tended to deprive the plaintiff of proof that the witness was aware of the contents of the document in question, having conferred with his attorney regarding it. The question was immaterial and idle, because it would not have been proper to elicit by a subsequent question the nature of the conversation between client and attorney, and a mere answer that a conference had taken place would not afford any evidence of the witness’ knowledge of the contents or meaning of any document.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“the court erred in refusing to permit counsel for the plaintiff to ask the defendant ... the following question: “Have you ever had occasion to confer with your attorneys regarding the legal effect of the power of attorney that you spoke of having seen that the American Bond & Share Corporation was using?””
