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

“The process involved in the solicitation of bids has been established for the benefit of the public, and does not create any rights in those who submit bids . . . . Thus, even as the highest [or lowest] bidder, the plaintiff has no justiciable rights . . . . The plaintiff did not obtain a vested or property interest in the contract merely because he submitted the highest [or lowest] bid. A successful bidder cannot claim any contractual rights until he has been awarded the contract.”
