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.
“522(d) The following property may be exempted under subsection (b)(1) of this section: ... (11) The debtor’s right to receive, or property that is traceable to— ... (E) a payment in compensation for loss of future earnings of the debtor or an individual of whom the debtor is or was a dependent, to the extent reasonably necessary for the support of the debtor and any dependent of the debtor.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. In Re Miller“Keeping in mind that exemption laws are to be liberally construed in favor of the debtor, I would find that the worker’s benefit granted debtor would be covered by both 11 U.S.C. Sec. 522 (d)(10)(C) and 11 U.S.C. Sec. 522 (d)(ll)(E).”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. In Re Sanchez“In accordance with the philosophy of exemption laws, it is well settled that the provisions of both the Bankruptcy Act and state laws on the subject should receive a liberal rather than a narrow or strict construction.”
