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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “The rule [Rule 25(a)(1) ] carefully distinguishes between “parties” and “successors or representatives of deceased parties” and does not mention “deceased parties” themselves. I therefore interpret rule 25 as allowing a motion to substitute to be made either by the estate of the deceased party (presumably acting through counsel for the estate) or by any other party, but not by the deceased party herself or himself (acting through counsel).... Stewart in his statement of death described himself as the attorney for the deceased party (and not for other parties) and now disclaims vigorously that he was and is not counsel to the estate. Under the interpretation just mentioned of Rule 25, these assertions render the statement of death filed by him a nullity.”
