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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We are of the opinion, and so hold, that in enacting G.S. 50-16.8, the General Assembly changed the procedure to be followed in actions for alimony without divorce from the divorce procedure set forth in G.S. 50-10 to the procedure applicable to other civil actions. In other civil actions, issues of fact may be determined by the judge if a jury trial is waived by failing to make timely demand pursuant to G.S. 1A-1, Rule 38(b). Sykes v. Belk, 278 N.C. 106 , 179 S.E. 2d 439 . Defendant did not demand a jury trial in accordance with Rule 38(b) and therefore he waived his right to trial by jury.” (Emphasis in original.)”
