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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A contract is formed by the consent of the parties established through offer and acceptance. Unless the law prescribes a certain formality for the intended contract, offer and acceptance may be made orally. If the amount of compensation a party is to receive was not agreed upon when the contract was formed, the law will imply in the contract a provision that the party would be paid a reasonable sum for his services. La. C.C. art 1846 provides that an oral contract in excess of $500.00 must be proven by at least one credible witness and other corroborating circumstances. Only general corroboration is required, and it is not necessary for the plaintiff to offer independent proof of every detail. (Internal citations omitted).”
