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

1. ““We think a moment’s reflection on the part of members of the profession will convince them that their duty to this court, their clients, and the state requires that in all cases here represented by them they should brief the questions involved on appeal, not only because it may aid to secure a just and correct decision of these questions, but because this court is thereby enabled to dispose of its business more rapidly than it otherwise could do.” Chamberlain v. Lesley, 39 Fla. 452, 456-457 , 22 So. 736 , 737 (1897).”

2. “failure to file a brief not only places an undue burden upon the Appellate Court but additionally, reflects an omission of the responsibility on the part of the appellee to support the ruling of the trial court. If the trial court's ruling is not worthy of support then the appellee ought to confess error and to join the appellant in seeking a reversal.”
