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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In Point II of respondents’ brief, they state that ‘Notwithstanding the statement in Section 165.294 R.S.Mo. [V.A.M.S.] that the “decision of the Board of Arbitration shall be final” the Supreme Court by its Rule 100.08 [V.A.M.R.] has provided that this harsh and patent finality is nevertheless subject to judicial inquiry and review.’ If respondents mean that courts may review the merits of changes in boundaries or the merits of a reorganization, they are mistaken. Consolidation and reorganization of existing school districts and the extent thereof as well, as the proceedings to effect such changes are legislative matters and as a rule are not subject to review by the courts”.”
