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 59 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a] motion for judgment as a matter of law under Federal Rule 50(a) `should be granted only if, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, there is no question of material fact for the jury and any verdict other than the one directed would be erroneous under the governing law.'”
8 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“There is evidence from which the jury could find that Farrell’s conduct in hosting the party contributed substantially to [the minor plaintiff] Macleary's consumption of alcohol to the point of impairment. There is evidence from which the jury could find that Hines [the driver] was so obviously intoxicated that a reasonable person not impaired by alcohol, would not have accepted a ride with [Hines]. The facts in evidence obviously permit an inference of causation.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“under Pennsylvania law a defendant who knowingly and intentionally allows premises over which she has control to be used for the purpose of consumption of alcohol by minors ... may be liable for injuries resulting therefrom”
