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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““When the questions presented in the appellate proceeding by the assignments of error can be determined by the appellate court without an examination of all the pleadings and evidence, the parties, with the approval of the trial court may prepare and sign a statement of the case showing how the questions arose and were decided in the trial court and setting forth so much only of the facts alleged and proved, or sought to be proved, as is essential to a decision of such questions by the appellate court. Such statement, when filed in the office of the clerk of the trial court, shall be treated as superseding, for the purposes of the appellate proceedings, all parts of the record other than the order or judgment to which writ of error is taken, and together with such order or judgment, shall be copied and certified to the appellate court as the record.””
