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 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Defendant further argues that, because the husband had a right to change the beneficiary, without the latter’s consent, all rights of the latter terminated when such change was made as fully as though the contract had been canceled. It is also argued that, because the insurer was a so-called assessment company, each new premium payment initiated a new policy of insurance. There is no merit in these contentions. The contrary was expressly declared in New York Life Insurance Co. v. Bank of Italy, supra, and in Modern Woodmen of America v. Gray, 113 Cal.App. 729 , 299 P. 754, 755 . * * * Accordingly the community share was determined to be only such proportion of the proceeds of the policy as the funds of the community paid for.” Page 482.”
