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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Art. 3943. Appeal from judgment awarding custody or alimony An appeal from a judgment awarding custody of a person or alimony can be taken only within the delay provided in Article 3942. Such an appeal shall not suspend the execution of the judgment in so far as the judgment relates to custody or alimony."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“"... This contention is untenable because it is contrary to the rule as expressed in Frederic v. Frederic, supra , to the effect that once the alimony is established in a judgment, it is owed until the judgment reversing or modifying it becomes final...."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““In Cipriano v. City of Houma, 395 U.S. 701, 706 , 89 S.Ct. 1897, 1900-1901 , 23 L.Ed.2d 647 (1969) the Supreme Court struck down a statute on equal protection grounds and stated the effect would be prospective: ‘Where a decision of this Court could produce substantial inequitable results if applied retroactively, there is ample basis in our cases for avoiding the “injustice or hardship” by a holding of nonretroactivity. Great Northern R. Co. v. Sunburst Oil & Refining Co., 287 U.S. 358, 364, 366 , 53 S.Ct. 145, 148 , 77 L.Ed. 360 [ 85 A.L.R. 254 ] (1932). See Chicot County Drainage Dist. v. Baxter State Bank, 308 U.S. 371 , 60 S.Ct. 317 , 84 L.Ed. 329 (1940). Cf. Linkletter v. Walker, 381 U.S. 618 , 85 S.Ct. 1731 , 14 L.Ed. 601 (1965).’ We hold Orr v. Orr, supra, should not be applied retroactively. Consequently, alimony which accrued prior to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision will not be affected and this will minimize the hardship caused to those needy former wives who have made expenditures expecting to accrue past due alimony. . .”
