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

  1. “During the period that the alleged negligence occurred, September 22, 1993, through December 13, 1993, Dr. Meeks was employed by the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning of the State of Mississippi (the "Board") as an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the UMMC. Dr. Meeks entered into an employment contract with UMMC in April of 1993. Pursuant to his contract, Dr. Meeks was required to be a member of the University of Mississippi Clinical Associates ("UMCA") and participate in the practice plan of the Division of General Internal Medicine. Dr. Meeks['s] membership in these associations was due to his status as a faculty member at UMMC. Dr. Meeks was paid a base salary of $77,279, and he had the right to earn 100% of additional income generated through fees up to $140,000, inclusive of the base salary. Upon reaching the threshold amount of $140,000, any additional earnings were to be split evenly between Dr. Meeks and UMMC. This additional income was generated through participation in the practice plan, where he had a clinical practice and treated patients at the UMMC Pavilion.”

  3. “Because we find that Dr. Meeks was an employee of UMMC and as a result [of being] a state employee, we hold that the trial court erred when it denied Dr. Meeks' summary judgment. As an employee of UMMC, Dr. Meeks is immune from liability.”
