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.
““We find merit in the appellant’s contention that the court committed error in the provision of the amended decree which required the husband to pay annual premiums on an insurance policy on his life, which was owned by the wife and on which she was the named beneficiary. The substantial premium payments which the husband was ordered to continue for the rest of his life were not alimony payments, but, as recited in the amended decree, that provision was inserted to provide for the wife after the husband’s death, and it was referred to in the amended decree as being “in addition” to awarding (lump sum) alimony.””
