The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1 later decision quote this exact passage““the billing statements merely identify attorney Wohler s preparation of pleadings, phone calls, meetings, and discussions with other attorneys or individuals. The subject billing statements do not include detailed entries which advise, analyze or discuss privileged communications. The mere fact the City Attorney Wohler prepared the billing statements does not render those statements confidential. The billing statements are extraneous to Wohler’s legal advice or work product. We find that the billing statements are neither privileged communications nor work product and do not fall within the attorney-client privilege.” 747 S.W.2d at 332 .”
