Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 81 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“ ‘issue was all part and parcel of one matter.’ ”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage““We are somewhat surprised that the Court equated the City of Providence with Boston, a city with an unenviable reputation for high costs. Further, we have a general feeling that both rates— most particularly that for the younger Mr. Stanzler — and the total, were on the generous side.” (emphasis added). Further and most revealing is Footnote 4, “We were even more surprised at the size of the fee counsel requested, over twice what the Court allowed.” The requested amounts were $75-$100 per hour reduced to $45-$70 per hour.”
