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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"If a person may consult an attorney and learn from the attorney there is serious defect in some instrument of writing on which he must rely to maintain his action, and then cause another document which eliminates the defect to be forged ... and then retain other counsel to represent him, however innocently, and attempt to maintain an action on such forged instrument, he endeavors to perpetuate a fraud not only on his adversary but upon the court." In re Estate of Koellen , 167 Kan. 676 , 683, 208 P.2d 595 (1949).”
