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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In a unilateral employment agreement, the employer makes an offer or promise to hire in return for specified benefits and wages and the employee accepts the offer by performing the act on which the promise is impliedly or expressly based; the employee’s act or forbearance in reliance on the employer’s promise furnishes consideration to the employer, while the benefits conferred under the terms of the promise constitute consideration for the employee.””
