6 canonical passages across 6 cases, quoted by 169 opinions in total. These passages cluster together because the same opinions keep quoting them side by side: they state parts of one doctrine. The anchor passage is from Brooks v. Ross.
| # | Case | Flag | Canonical passage | Citers |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 2 | Ronald Olson v. Champaign County, Illinois | green | “more than a sheer possibility that a defendant has acted unlawfully.” | 30 |
| 3 | Osama Taha v. International Brotherhood of T | green | “construe the complaint in the light most favorable to plaintiff, accept all well-pleaded facts as true, and draw reasonable inferences in plaintiff's favor.” | 15 |
| 4 | Laura Kubiak v. City of Chicago | green | “accept as true all of the well- pleaded facts in the complaint and draw all reasonable inferences in favor of the plaintiff.” | 12 |
| 5 | Peter Enger v. Chicago Carriage Cab Corp. | green | “if it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff could prove no set of facts in support of his claim that would entitle him to the relief requested.” | 11 |
| 6 | Crawford v. Belhaven Realty LLC | green | “because parties typically enter into contracts to benefit themselves rather than third parties, there is a presumption against intended beneficiary status that can only be overcome by an implication so strong as to be practically an express declaration.” | 3 |
