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.
“Of course, any prudent Defendant ought to answer in state court within the time permitted by state law, if possible, even if the case is removed, since, if the case is thereafter remanded by the federal court, the state court may then enter a default judgment. This is exactly what happened in Levine v. Lacy, 204 Va. 297 , 130 S.E.2d 443, 445-46 (1963).”
