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.
“In the contest of a will by bill in chancery under section 64 et seq., Title 61, Code of 1940, either party is entitled to a jury trial as a matter of right. Section 67, Title 61, Code of 1940; Lewis v. Martin , 210 Ala. 401 , 98 So. 635 . But a jury trial is not a matter of right in a suit in chancery to set aside a deed. Section 322, Title 7, Code of 1940; Karter v. East , 220 Ala. 511 , 125 So. 655 ; Hill v. Lindsey , 223 Ala. 550 , 137 So. 395 ; Tuscaloosa County v. Shamblin , 233 Ala. 6 , 169 So. 234 .”
