In the article, Times reporter Adam Liptak cites three studies that used linguistic software to measure what percentage of justices’ opinions use words cribbed from briefs submitted to the court.Attorneys who file appellate briefs pray all the time that the Judge or Justices will quote them verbatim. The whole purpose of filing a brief is to provide the Judge with what you hope to God are the very words they will use in their opinion.

Makes sense to me. I'd get a kick out of others using my sermons. I've cribbed from the best. Everyone from Spurgeon to Truett to Graham.
But suppose a hypothetical...that I had gone an extra step and actually FILED my sermons with THEM for their review and approval. And then if they used some of it in their own! Wow. I'd throw a party.
