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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If we have jurisdiction of this cause, it is because the amount in dispute, exclusive of costs, exceeds $7,500. The award in this case was $20 per week for 300 weeks, or a total of $6,000 and $13.50 per week thereafter for life. Can it be said with certainty that the respondent will live 300 weeks and then long enough thereafter so that he will receive a sum in excess of $7,500? We think not. Our jurisdiction attaches when, and only when, the record of the trial court affirmatively shows that there is involved in the controversy, independent of all contingencies, an amount exceeding $7,500, exclusive of costs. * * * Tested by this rule, we cannot say that, independent of all contingencies, the amount in dispute is more than $6,000.” loc. cit. at page 593.”
