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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . The Workmen’s Compensation Act provides its own appeal procedure. The district court on appeal considers the matter de novo upon the record taken by the Commissioner; it weighs the evidence and is required to consider the case as if it were one of first impression; and its jurisdiction in compensation cases is simply its power to grant or refuse compensation or to increase or diminish any award made by the Commissioner as justice may require. See, e. g., Coble v. Williams, 177 Kan. 743 , 282 P. 2d 425 ; Neff v. Henry Wagner Transport Co., 177 Kan. 738 , 281 P. 2d 1109 ; Place v. Falcon Seaboard Drilling Co., 186 Kan. 523, 527 , 350 P. 2d 788 .” (p. 232.)”
