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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The agreement provides that any controversy arising out of the plaintiffs’ accounts will be settled by arbitration. All of the plaintiffs’ allegations against [the employee] arise out of his actions as [the broker’s] employee in connection with the plaintiffs’ accounts. Thus the plaintiffs’ claims against [the employee] are based on a controversy arising out of the plaintiffs’ accounts, and as such, those claims fall squarely within the scope of the arbitration agreement.”

2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Any controversy arising out of this Agreement or my Securities Account or relating to this contract or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration, in accordance with the rules, then obtaining, of the American Arbitration Association, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc., or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., as I may elect____ Certain decisions by the federal courts have held that if a dispute involves a claim arising under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such arbitration clauses are void and unenforceable as applied to such claims and accordingly customers cannot be compelled to arbitrate such a claim. In other contexts, courts generally enforce arbitration clauses in customers’ agreements. Therefore, nothing in this paragraph shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which I may have under any Federal Securities laws.”
