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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is at once apparent that the time that should be allowed for the argument of cases cannot be regulated by a rule fixing the time that should be ¡allowed in any particular case, because every case presents different facts and circumstances, and so, although we have in some cases held that the time allowed for argument was not sufficient and in other cases held that it was, we have ¡adopted the practice of leaving it to the trial judge to regulate, in the exercise of a sound discretion, the time for argument in each case, and it is only when it plainly appears that this discretion has been abused to the prejudice of the substantial rights of the defendant that his refusal to allow a longer time will be deemed reversible error.””
