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 119 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[TJhis court [has] stated that in a conventional trial regularly set for trial on the merits, it will be presumed that the court intended to dispose of all parties legally before it as well as all of the issues made by the pleadings.... That rule is correct and sound when applied to conventional trials on the merits with all parties cited and before the court. There is no presumption in partial summary judgments that the judgment was intended to make an adjudication about all parties and issues.”
