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 78 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'[n]o showing of merits is necessary in support of a motion to vacate a void judgment'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Service of process is the means by which such notice is given and such opportunity afforded. Consequently, it must be accomplished by a method reasonably calculated to afford the party sued this constitutional protection. Without such service no jurisdiction exists; the court lacks power to act; and a j udgment rendered against a person, under such circumstances, is void for all purposes.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Th$ inability to provide justice in small causes has always been one of the weakest points in our system of administering justice. From the days of ordeal by battle, the method provided by the common law for proving and reducing to judgment any type of small claim has been cumbersome, slow, and expensive out of all proportion to the matter involved.””
