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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Myers’ final contention is that the trial judge did not abide by Art. IV, Sec. 23 of the Maryland Constitution, because he did not render his decision on the petition ‘within two months’ after it was submitted. It has been held that Sec. 23 is not mandatory, but directory, and thus there was no loss of jurisdiction to pass upon the petition. Suttleman v. Board of Liquor License Commissioners, 209 Md. 134, 140 ; Snyder v. Cearfoss, 186 Md. 360 .” (emphasis added) Id. at 51.”
