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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Upon a motion for judgment on the pleadings the allegations of the non-movant are taken as true and all contravening assertions of the movant are taken as false. . . . Judgment on the pleadings is not favored by the law, and the non-movant’s pleadings will be liberally construed. . . . The trial court is required to view the facts and permissible inferences in the light most favorable to the non-movant. [Citations omitted.]”
