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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When any estate shall be devised to any child, grandchild or other relative of the testator, and such devisee shall die before the testator leaving lineal descendants, such descendants shall take the estate, real or personal, as such devisee would have done in case he had survived the testator.” [Sec. 527, R. S. 1929.]”
