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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The language of this amendment is identical with the language which a decree of judicial emancipation must contain, when a minor over the age of 18 years is fully emancipated, and relieved from the time prescribed by law for attaining the age of majority under articles 385 and 386 of the Civil Code. “Necessarily, when plaintiff arrived at the age of 18 years, she became sui juris for all legal purposes. She was then fully empowered to mortgage and alienate real estate, and prescription began to run against her, as much so as if she had been a femme sole who had attained the age of majority.””
