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.
““A judgment or decree against an infant who was not represented by a guardian ad litem, is not void and subject to collateral attack. Weinstein v. Chelsea, &c., Co., 104 N. J. Eq. 258. But it is erroneous since it cannot be lawfully rendered until a guardian is appointed to defend. Foulkes v. Young, 21 N. J. Law 438; Camden Commercial College v. Piper, 5 N. J. Mis. R. 535; 137 Atl. Rep. 555 . And for such error the judgment will be reversed without considering whether or not the infant has a defense on the merits.””
