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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““That a stockholder in a company which is party to an action is incompetent to sit as a juror is so well settled as to be black letter law.” [Chestnut v. Ford Motor Co., 445 F.2d 967, 971 (4th Cir.1971).] ... The fact that the juror in the instant case, after disclosing stock ownership also swore that such ownership would not destroy the juror’s objectivity, is irrelevant. If, as is the law, the juror is legally disqualified from acting, the juror’s analysis of his subjective qualifications is beside the point.”

3 later decisions quote this exact passage“In 1974 Congress amended 28 U.S.C. § 455 to direct that a judicial officer should disqualify himself in any proceeding in which "he, individually or as a fiduciary, or his spouse or minor child residing in his household, has a financial interest ... in a party to the proceeding ...” 28 U.S.C. § 455 (b)(4). Under § 455(e), the judge may not even accept a waiver of this disqualification from the parties. We read § 455(b)(4) to require a judge who is a stockholder in a party to a case to disqualify himself from participation in the case even when he is not the factfinder. We would find it difficult to say, even if we were to address the question, that a less rigorous rule should apply to laymen who are chosen as jurors when they lack a lifetime of training in objectivity in the disposition of lawsuits.”
