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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . the assignment of errors in this court is appellant’s complaint presenting questions of law only to be determined from the record. Furthermore, the long-settled practice and Rule 6 of this court require the assignment to contain, either in the title or in the body thereof, the full names of all the parties affected by the judgment from which the appeal is taken, This requirement is jurisdictional and must obtain in all cases except as otherwise modified by statute.””
