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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) the actor reasonably believes the conduct is immediately necessary to avoid imminent ham; (2) the desirability and urgency of avoiding the ham clearly outweigh, according to ordinary standards of reasonableness, the ham sought to be prevented by the law prescribing the conduct; and (3) a legislative purpose to exclude the justification claimed for the conduct does not otherwise plainly appear.”
