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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Judgment may be entered nunc pro tunc upon the correction of an entry of judgment which was not the same as the decision actually made, the conclusion reached by the court, or the judgment actually rendered. In other words, a nunc pro tunc entry is an available remedy where a court has acted and its action has not been correctly recorded. 31 Ohio Jurisprudence (2d), 578, Section 98. Judgments nunc pro tunc are employed to make the record speak the truth, and the function of such entries is the correction of judgments rendered in so far as they fail to record, or improperly record, the judgment rendered by the court, as distinguished from the correction of an error in the judgment itself or in a failure to render the judgment; and a nunc pro tunc entry of a judgment is not available to alter the conclusion of the court. 31 Ohio Jurisprudence (2d), 575, Section 96. This power of the court, however, should be exercised with caution, because otherwise the stability of judgments would be destroyed. Ruby v. Wolf, 39 Ohio App. 144 , 177 N.E. 240 .”
