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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]n order for a defendant to obtain a new trial because of. . . the absence of his counsel at the trial, it must be shown that the party was without fault, and that he had a good defense to the action. . . .Where parties have a case in court, it is their duty to attend and look after their interests.”
