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.
“The superior court shall take cognizance of civil actions and pleas, real, personal and mixed, according to the course of the common law, except such actions as are required to be brought in . . . the probate courts under RSA 547; ... of actions for support for children of unwed parents; ... of petitions of divorce, nullity of marriage, alimony, custody of children and allowance to wife from husband’s property for support of herself and children; . . . and of all other proceedings and matters cognizable therein for which other special provision is not made.”
