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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is a universal rule that an attorney-at-law is presumed to have authority to represent a party litigant for whom he appears, 6 C. J. p. 631, when a party denies the authority he must proceed promptly and unequivocally to repudiate the appearance and to permit no more acts thereunder.””
