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 205 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[D]elay in getting questions decided through the appellate process ... will not justify intervention by appellate courts through the extraordinary writ of mandamus.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passage“* * * There is yet another reason why the writ of mandamus will not issue. Relator has an adequate remedy by appeal, and writs of mandamus will not issue to forestall or to correct errors of a trial court committed in the course of a trial when the parties have an adequate remedy by appeal.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“(b) Separate Trials. The court in furtherance of convenience or to avoid prejudice may order a separate trial of any claim, cross claim, or third party claim, or of any separate issue or of any number of claims, cross claims, counterclaims, third party claims, or issues.”
