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 247 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Arizona supreme court has likened the community to a partnership. Forsythe v. Paschal, 34 Ariz. 380 , 271 P. 865 . The husband as agent may not act in fraud of his wife's rights, and if he attempts to do so, she has a remedy in the courts. Gristy v. Hudgens, 23 Ariz. 339 , 203 P. 569 . "Enough has been said to show that our conclusion in No. 15 (Poe v. Seaborn, 282 U.S. 101 , 51 S.Ct. 58 , 75 L.Ed. 239 ) holds here, and that the wife has such equal interest in community income as to entitle her to treat one-half thereof as her income, and file a separate return therefor * * *.”
