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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The rule in Alabama in civil cases is that where there is a scintilla of evidence which reasonably supports inferences adverse to the party asking the general affirmative charge, or from which the jury might draw an inference adverse to such party, the general affirmative charge should not be given. Pelzer v. Mutual Warehouse Co., 217 Ala. 630 , 117 So. 165 .” Snider v. Hamilton, 268 Ala. 249 , 105 So.2d 656 .”
