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.
“At a preliminary hearing, counsel for defendant-appellant Pontiac assured the court that city authorities would process Shamie’s then-pending license application in accordance with routing procedures prescribed by a new city ordinance. In response to a suggestion by the district judge, Pontiac’s attorney also agreed that the licensing commission would, in the event of a negative decision, furnish Shamie with reasons supporting denial of his application. Shamie accepted the City’s proposals and on December 16, 1975, the court issued an order embodying the parties’ agreement.”
