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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the United States, the general rule of law known as the American Rule is that a prevailing litigant is ordinarily not entitled to collect a reasonable attorney's fee from the opposing party as part of his or her damages or costs. . . . There are certain exceptions to this rule. . . . In the main, the exceptions are based upon statutory or contractual provisions authorizing the recovery of attorney's fees by a prevailing litigant.”
