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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is also the rule that the signing of a judgment before the expiration of the delay allowed by law for filing a motion for a new trial does not affect the right of the party cast to move for a new trial, and if the motion be timely filed, the judgment rendered, though signed, is considered as not becoming legally effective unless and until the motion is overruled. Succession of Gilmore, 12 La.Ann. 562 ; Mercer v. Natchez, B. & S. Ry. Co., 136 La. 187 , 66 So. 774 .””
