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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . the law pertaining to judgments generally recognizes the propriety of an oral pronouncement which is carried into the court minutes. The judge’s signature to a written judgment is not essential. [Citing cases.] Except where findings are specifically required (as in Code Civ. Proc., § 632) a judgment is rendered when decision is announced and carried into the minutes. [Citing eases.] ‘It is a matter of trial court procedure whether the court chooses to make its final decision by the entry in the minutes of an order without a direction that a written order be prepared, signed and filed, or elects to enter a direction that a formal order be prepared. (Gwinn v. Ryan, 33 Cal.2d 436 [ 202 P.2d 51 ].’ ” (Citations.)”
