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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a] pre-trial order will be modified only if there is no substantial injury or prejudice to the opponent.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[Wjhile the pre-trial order may be the beginning, it is never the end of a matter of this sort. It normally “controls the subsequent course of the action,” but not if it is “modified at the trial to prevent manifest injustice.” The judicial function does not terminate upon discovery that an issue is unspecified, but extends to a determination as to whether the ends of justice implore that the issue nonetheless be introduced into the litigation. This frequently involves a delicate balance of competing considerations, variable from case to case, in order that the decision may be soundly made. And absent perceptible irregularity in a process so largely discretionary, we are loath to disturb the result.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“a party may not offer evidence or advance theories which violate the terms of a pre-trial order.”
