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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The counsel for defendants in error filed quite a learned brief, and discusses our exemption laws and our separate property laws, and attempts to apply the rule relating to our exemption statute, and our separate property statute, and cites numerous authorities, but in our judgment the two sections in our statutes above quoted are too plain to require any outside aid in determining . their meaning.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The policies involved specifically designated the plaintiff in error as beneficiary, and it appears that it was the intention of J. N. Johnson to set apart this sum of money for the benefit of his widow. It seems to us that the above sections of the statute exempt the money derived from the above policies.””
