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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The rule is that, where the opinion on appeal becomes final, all questions raised, or that might have been raised, on that appeal must be regarded as settled, ‘and, where instructions that were given on the trial were before the court, and not criticized, they are tacitly approved, and become the law of the case, which the trial court can neither modify or depart from in succeeding trials. ’ ’”
