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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As a general rule all that this section requires is either common questions of fact or common questions of law, and the fact that other questions may remain as to individuals is not controlling. Like v. Carter, 448 F.2d 798 (8th Cir. 1971);...; Dolgow v. Anderson, 43 F.R.D. 472, 490 (E.D.N.Y. 1968). Here ample common legal and factual issues exist. Indeed some courts have found common questions in the allegation of a conspiracy. Morris v. Burchard, 51 F.R.D. 530, 532 (S.D.N.Y. 1971); Siegel v. Chicken Delight, Inc., 271 F.Supp. 722 (N.D.Cal. 1967).”
