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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Workmen’s Compensation Commission is empowered to make such rules and regulations for the administration of the Workmen’s Compensation Law as may be found necessary. Ark. Stat. Ann. § 81-1343(9). Any reasonable construction or interpretation given such rules is certainly entitled to great weight upon judicial review, even if not controlling. (Citations omitted.) Certainly if an administrative agency’s interpretation of its own rule is not contrary to statute or irreconcilably contrary to the plain meaning of the regulation itself, it may be accepted by the courts.”
