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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““34-3-113. Compromise of claims.— (a) In any action or suit wherein an infant or insane person is a party, the court in which the same is pending shall have the power to approve and confirm a compromise of the matters in controversy on behalf of such infant or insane person, if such compromise shall be deemed to be to the best interest of such infant or insane person, and any order or decree approving and confirming any such compromise shall be binding upon such infant or insane person. Such order may be entered either in term time or in vacation, without the necessity of a jury verdict or approval.””
