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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Before the passage of that portion of the statute which we have quoted, there was much complaint over the claim of real estate agents for compensation for alleged services in making sales of real estate. It was to cure this evil that this statute was enacted. The general idea of the legislature must have been that, before any real estate agent or broker could recover for his services in selling or purchasing lands, his contract must be in writing.””
