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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“it is not necessary that each question of law or fact be common to every class member. Axelrod v. Saks & Co., 77 FRD 441, 444 (E.D.Pa.1978). Nor is it required, for purposes of Rule 23(a)(2), that such common questions be shown to predominate over individual questions as is required under Rule 23(b)(3)”
