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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Section 321 of the Code of Civil Procedure (Gen. St. 1909, Sec. 5914), providing that an attorney shall be incompetent to testify concerning communications made to him by his client in that relation, is declaratory of the common law, and does not prohibit an attorney from testifying to the facts relating to the preparation and execution of a will drawn by him, including the information imparted by the testator, in a proceeding to contest the will on the ground of undue influence and fraud.””
