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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Exercising ancillary jurisdiction] may in fact avoid subjecting the defendants to multiple litigation [in state and federal forums]. In sum, the Court concludes that it has jurisdiction to retain the Union as a plaintiff, either as an advocate of its own pendent claims or as an advocate of the rights of the patients. Viewed pragmatically, the defendants will have to litigate the same questions and face the same relief, whether the Union is in the suit or not. The Union’s presence will promote judicial economy and convenience, and will help to present all the issues in their most sharply focused form. [Footnotes omitted.]”
