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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“1. The state of Iowa is suffering from a financial crisis in agriculture that affects the entire economic health of this state. 2. This financial crisis has grown to include the business communities which, together with the agricultural producers, form the core of the state’s economy. 3. A large number of producers and farm families are being forced to leave farming and make a new start. 4. It is deemed to be in the best interest of the state to protect the business communities and the dislocated farm families affected by the financial crisis in agriculture.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Matter of Towns““Debtor is correct in stating that, as a general rule, a bankruptcy court faced with a debtor’s claim of exemptions will apply the law in effect on the date the bankruptcy petition is filed. See, e.g., In the Matter of Zahn, 605 F.2d 323 , 327 (7th Cir.1979), cert. den. 444 U.S. 1075 , 100 S.Ct. 1022 , 62 L.Ed.2d 757 (1980). In re Hockinson, 60 B.R. 250 (Bkrtcy.N.D.Ill.1986), a case almost identical to the one at bar, followed the general rule expressed in Zahn.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. In Re Syrtveit“While Edwards [v. Kearzey, 96 U.S. (6 Otto) 595, 24 L.Ed. 793 (1877) ] and the cases it derived from have never been expressly overruled, see ... Gunn v. Barry, 82 U.S. (15 Wall.) 610 , 21 L.Ed. 212 (1872) modern decisions have cast considerable doubt on the continued viability of the old view. Probably the first case to adopt a more liberal interpretation of the Contract Clause was [Blaisdell ].”
