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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * A full consideration of this entire record gives reasonable grounds for the allowance to her of a fee for an attorney without awaiting the final result of such a hotly contested issue. The evidence showed that the appellant was working herself and spending all that she brought home in pay for the benefit of the family. Besides, the appellee was shown to have been financially able to pay a reasonable fee. Under the circumstances, the court should have allowed her an attorney’s fee as a result of services performed in the trial.”
