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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“fee” as: "Compensation, often a fixed charge, for professional service or for special and requested exercise of talent or of skill as by an artist; as a fee for consultation; a retaining fee.” (Emphasis supplied).
