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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the [West Virginia Supreme Court] determines not to grant a rule to show cause, such determination shall be without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to present a petition to a lower court having proper jurisdiction, unless the court specifically notes on the order denying a rule to show cause that the denial is with prejudice.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““A refusal with prejudice to issue a rule in mandamus by the Supreme Court of Appeals precludes the consideration of an essentially identical petition by a circuit court; however, such a refusal does not constitute res judicata as to the subject matter of the mandamus petition at a subsequent trial.” 2”
