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.
““ 'Rendered’ means expressed or announced in a conclusive manner and with decisive effect, certainly so when at the same time notation of it is made on a judgment docket, or other more or less permanent memorandum record kept by the Judge for the purpose. ‘The rendition of judgment, and the entry of judgment, are different and distinct, each from the other. The former is the act of the court, while the latter is the act of the clerk of the court. * * # To render judgment is to return or give judgment; and it can not be said, in our opinion, that the phrase, in any of its forms, includes the idea of making a written entry or record of a judgment.’ ” P. 79 of 165 Tenn., p. 138 of 52 S.W.2d.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“It will be observed that the statute does not limit the time within which a judgment rendered shall be entered on the docket. ... “A judgment is ‘rendered,’ within the meaning of regulations as to the time of rendition, when it is made up and announced by the justice, or a memorandum thereof is made, and not when the judgment is entered.” (Emphasis supplied.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““The prevailing rule construes a statute requiring an appeal to be taken within a defined statutory period after the ‘rendition’ of the judgment as mandatory (citing numerous authorities), and requires the time to appeal to be computed from the date of the actual rendition, and not from the entry.””
