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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A district court may transfer a case or proceeding under title 11 to a district court for another district, in the interest of justice or for the convenience of the parties.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“These adversary proceedings involve litigation, transactions and witnesses all within the State of Illinois. Retaining venue in the Middle District of Tennessee will cause extreme hardship to the real parties in interest, to witnesses and to the trustee who would be forced to prosecute these actions at significant expense and without support from the estate. Delays in prosecution are likely if venue is retained in this district, in light of the distant physical location of witnesses and evidence. ... Factors favoring transfer include that over 95% in number and amount of the debtor’s creditors reside in the Northern District of Illinois.”
