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.
““. . . [In Lunt] the action was for mandamus. It is difficult to im agine mandamus, based as it is on neglect or refusal by a public official to perform a ministerial duty, which did not arise as the Court said in Lunt \ . . in the county where the public official officially resides. It is at that place where he officially refuses to act or neglects to act.’ ” 561 P.2d at 916 .”
