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.

“[t]he domicile of each citizen is in the parish wherein he has his principal establishment.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage
e.g. 621 So. 2d 1139 - Arnold v. Hughes · 565 So. 2d 1105 - Wilson v. Shea
“... in light of the quoted definition the word actually serves to emphasize the residency aspect of domicile. It is interesting to note the dialogue among the delegates to the Constitutional Convention in drafting this article. It is apparent the delegates intended to limit candidacy for political office to citizens who actually live in the district they aspire to represent. The newly drafted constitutional article was designed to eliminate a system under which candidates would establish a `political domicile' from which to seek office even though they chose to live and maintain their families in another area, and were not truly representative of the district from which they sought election.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage
e.g. 660 So. 2d 576 - Davis v. English · 436 So. 2d 756 - Messer v. London
““... any doubt should be resolved in favor of permitting a candidate to run for public office. After all, he still has to face the voters who will, and should, exercise the final judgment on his candidacy.” Id.”
