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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““From the record, it is difficult to believe that [the defendant attorney] did not intend to defraud appellee. The manner in which he drew the note and mortgage must be ascribed to ignorance or an intent to defraud. Being a lawyer, he must have known how to draw a simple note and mortgage.” 196 Ark. at 545 , 118 S. W. 2d at 850 .”
