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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The fundamental concern is one of notice. Modern pleading requirements serve to notify the opposing party of the claims alleged and prevent unfair surprise. Raising entitlement to attorney's fees only after judgment fails to serve either of those objectives. The existence or nonexistence of a motion for attorney's fees may play an important role in decisions affecting a case. . . . A party should not have to speculate throughout the entire course of an action about what claims ultimately may be alleged against him.”
