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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Consent for purposes of this rule need not be express. If one party demands a jury, the other parties do not object, and the court orders trial to a jury, this will be regarded as trial by consent. If there is trial to a jury by consent, the verdict has the same effect as if trial by jury had been a matter of right and cannot be treated as advisory only.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“Clearly the rule requires that the court’s initiative in ordering a trial to an advisory jury must occur, and parties must be made aware of it, before case is submitted.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Any good trial lawyer will testify that there are significant tactical differences in presenting and arguing a case to a jury as opposed to a judge.”
