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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In this case, there can be no doubt that suit was brought for and on behalf of [the limited partnership]____ Consequently, the citizenship of [the limited partnership] — which is all of its general and limited partners — must be considered in determining whether there is diversity jurisdiction. To hold otherwise would make the rule of Carden , and the existence of diver sity jurisdiction, turn on the sheer fortuity of state law relating to the name or names under which a limited partnership must sue. Those partnerships in states adhering to the old common law rule would have superior access to diversity jurisdiction and those elsewhere might seek to create diversity jurisdiction simply by not availing themselves of the right to sue in the partnership name.”
