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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Defendant has neither appealed nor answered the appeal, and though he prays in his brief that the judgment of the District Court be reversed, we are powerless to alter or amend the judgment in his favor. See Succession of Babin, 213 La. 950 , 35 So.2d 864 ; Blasingame v. Anderson, 236 La. 505 , 108 So.2d 105 ; Rader v. Rader, La.App., 126 So.2d 189 ; Vogt v.
