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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where a person was adjudged mentally incompetent and a guardian appointed for his estate by a county court upon a petition which showed upon its face that such person had theretofore been adjudged an incompetent and a guardian appointed for his estate by a county court of another county, which guardianship proceedings were still pending, such county court in making such adjudication and appointment acted without jurisdiction. Its orders were therefore void and subject to collateral attack.””
