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.
“(1) the statute contains an enumeration of specific words; (2) the members of the enumeration constitute a class; (3) the class is not exhausted by the enumeration; (4) a general reference supplementing the enumeration, usually following it; and (5) there is not clearly manifested an intent that the general term be given a broader meaning than the doctrine requires.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“'the meaning of the general words will be ordinarily presumed to be restricted by the particular designation [of subjects or classes of persons enumerated in the statute] and to include only things or persons of the same kind, class, or nature as those specifically enumerated, unless ¶19 there is a clear manifestation of a contrary purpose.'”
