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.

“Both sides presented real estate experts to address whether plaintiffs’ neighboring property had diminished in value. Wesley Barron, a state certified appraiser, opined that a diminution in the price of appellees’ land would be caused by appellants’ ultralight activities. Ron Fa-yard, a real estate broker in the Bossier area but not a certified appraiser, testified on behalf of defendants. He noted that property in a new subdivision across the bayou from the ultralight landing area had significantly increased in value over the last few years, and that he had not observed any adverse effect on area sales caused by the nearby ultralights. On cross, however, he admitted that the subdivision land is buffered by a line of trees along the waterway.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the dissent“1 aOne of the complainants, Rebecca Sanford, testified her horse had been spooked and nearly kicked her when an ultralight [aircraft] flew over her barn. Another plaintiff, Teresa Chewning, recounted how a low flying machine “buzzed” her house and scared her children. Neither plane belonged to defendants, but both witnesses generally concluded that the craft had been attracted by the airfield. Chewning additionally noted an occasion when Brooks taxied up and down the fence line between their properties, causing the horses in her nearby pasture to stampede.”
