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 56 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Because the Medical Malpractice Act requires speed and no undue delay, it does not violate a plaintiff’s right of access to the courts without undue delay in most circumstances. But where the requirement of first going before the Medical Review Commission causes undue delay prejudicing a plaintiff by the loss of ' witnesses or parties, the plaintiff is unconstitutionally deprived of his right of access to the courts.”
