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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We’re proceeding on an appeal from the [juvenile and domestic relations] district court, and this is a trial de novo, so the court only wants to hear evidence in reference to those motions that were filed and not get into a range of a lot of additional matters____ I’m not going to hear evidence of what may have occurred in January or February and early March of ’94.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[A]n appeal to the circuit court from a court not of record under Code § 16.1-136 annuls the judgment of the inferior tribunal as completely as if there had been no previous trial.... [S]uch a trial de novo in the circuit court grants to a litigant every advantage which would have been his had the case been tried originally in such court.”
