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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Had the same terms of ‘party of the first part’ and ‘party of the second part’ been used in the judgment as in the contract but transposed, or ‘first’ used instead of ‘second’, it might be regarded as a clerical misprision, that is, an error in recording the judgment. But. the judgment specifically says the money shall be paid ‘during the lifetime of Leah O. Wides or until she remarries.’”
