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 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Appellee urges no equitable claim or right to any part of the proceed of policy, such as might have existed in her favor if she had paid the premiums on it, or that she is entitled to reimbursement out of the proceeds for money or property of hers which Henry Conrad failed or refused to restore to her following the divorce; but her only claim to the proceeds of the policy rests upon the naked ground that she is entitled thereto, because of the fact that she is named in the policy as beneficiary, and the further fact that, notwithstanding the divorce, she has retained possession of the policy.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““There can be no doubt of the fact that appellee was, by the terms of the policy issued upon the life of Henry Conrad, named therein as the beneficiary because she was his wife and by reason thereof had an insurable interest in his life. It is patent, therefore, that whatever interest or right she theii had or took under the policy was acquired in consideration or by reason of her marriage to Henry Conrad. The interest or right she thus acquired was destroyed by the judgment of divorce which op erated, by virtue of its terms and the provisions of the Code, to divest her of it.’’’”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The proceedings to enforce this order may be by petition of either party, specifying the property which the other has failed to restore; and the court may hear and determine the same in a summary manner, after ten days’ notice to the party so failing.””
