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 138 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

8 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“to give the other party `an opportunity to cure the defects in proof that might otherwise preclude him from taking the case to the jury.'”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“if the party moving [under Rule 50(b) ] has not moved for a directed verdict [under Rule 50(a) ], and if the court is nevertheless satisfied that justice requires that the judgment be vacated for insufficiency of the evidence, the court should normally grant a new trial.”
