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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘While exceptions to the charge may be noted after trial, when the statement of case on appeal is prepared, even so, such exceptions should be included in appellant’s statement of case on appeal as served on the appellee, in order that the latter may be fully apprised at that juncture of the theory of the appeal.’ Moore v. Crosswell, 240 N.C. 473 , 82 S.E. 2d 208 . Since the ‘exceptions’ do not specify wherein it is claimed the court erred in instructing the jury, they are broadside and wholly ineffectual to support the assignments of error.””
