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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Legislative Bill No. 20 involves the right of an individual to sue the state, and the state in such bill creates a liability in the individual’s favor that heretofore did not exist by virtue of general statute. The Legislature is without force to pass a special law creating a liability in behalf of an individual and authorizing such individual to institute suit, in the absence of a general statute providing liability on the part of the state for the negligence of its agents and servants.” (citations omitted.)”
