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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “[t]he juvenile court of Jackson county did not find the existence of any specific condition which would have placed the child, Margaret Marty, within the statutory classification of a “neglected child,” nor did it find generally that she was a “neglected child” within the statutory definition thereof. It merely found that “Margaret Marty is neglected.””

  2. “[I]t is competent for the juvenile court to determine in a given case whether a child is a “neglected child” “within the definition thereof” contained in the statute; it is given express authority so to do; and its finding as to the existence of this jurisdictional fact, when it makes one, is of course conclusive as against collateral attack.”
