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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In [plaintiffs motion to set aside the settlement,] plaintiff alleged that he signed the settlement as a result of duress and misinformation on the part of his attorneys and testified to that effect at the hearing on his motion to set aside the settlement. This court held that there was no evidence that the defendant-physicians “participated in or knew of the alleged duress imposed by Novack’s counsel.” [Citation omitted]. This court refused to set aside the settlement only as between plaintiff and defendant-physicians. The question of his attorneys’ negligence, which allegedly induced plaintiff to settle, was not determined by this court. ... Here, the issue of attorneys’ coercive conduct, an indispensable element of the present legal malpractice case, was not determined in that prior litigation.”
