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 65 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It has been settled, since the leading decision of Pennoyer v. Neff, 95 U. S. 714 , 24 L. Ed. 565 , was pronounced, that a personal judgment or decree rendered in a cause against a nonresident, upon whom, no personal service therein was had, is void, and, of course, unenforceable in any manner. That doctrine has been several times affirmed by this court. Exchange Bank v. Clement, 109 Ala. 270 , 19 South. 814 ; L. & N. R. R. Co. v. Nash. 118 Ala. 477 , 23 South. 825 , 41 L. R. A. 331 [ 72 Am. St. Rep. 181 ].””
