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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It may be conceded that the power of a court of chancery to allow attorneys’ fees for services rendered in the enforcement of a decree and in defense of an appeal stems from the Illinois Divorce Statute. (Clubb v. Clubb, 402 Ill. 390 .) But the practice and proceedings in divorce cases in Illinois, except as specifically limited by the Divorce Act, are those of courts of chancery, not only in relation to petitions for fees but generally.””
