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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Article 3519 is contained in paragraph 5 of Section .2 of Chapter 3 of Title XXIII of the Civil Code which treats ‘Of the Causes which interrupt Prescription’. Article 3518, providing that prescription is interrupted by citation of the possessor, has been superseded by Act No. 39 of 1932, LSA-R.S. 9:5801, which declares that the filing of a suit in a court of- competent jurisdiction interrupts all prescriptions. This article, changed as aforesaid, must be read in connection with Article 3519 and is subject to the limitations contained therein.””
