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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““On the second trial . . . additional evidentiary facts were found and also the ultimate fact that at the time he instituted this action the appellee was the owner of the real estate in question. The decision in the former appeal did not determine the question as to whether the facts stated in the special finding now before the court were sufficient to sustain the conclusion of law which the trial judge stated in this finding of facts. On this question, therefore, the decision of the Appellate Court did not become the law of the case.””
