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.
“A court has supplemental jurisdiction to hear fee disputes and lien claims between parties and their attorneys, and between groups of attorneys, without regard to the jurisdiction basis of the original action, so long as the fee dispute relates to the original action. In other words, once this Court’s jurisdiction has been properly invoked to settle the controversy in the original action, and subject matter, personal jurisdiction, venue and other concerns have been laid to rest in the original action, the court has the power to settle fee disputes arising out of that original action without regard to the citizenship of the disputing attorneys and other niceties. All the Circuit Courts of Appeal which have considered this question appear to agree on this point.”
