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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A writ of mandamus is not granted unless there is a clear showing of error in the trial court to the injury of the petitioner. Ex parte Slade, 382 So.2d 1127 (Ala.1980).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"The petitioner has cited . . . two cases which hold, she asserts, that the ore tenus finding of a probate court is presumptively correct: State Dept. of Pensions and Security v. Whitney , Ala. Civ.App., 359 So.2d 810 (1978), and Graves v. Graves , 51 Ala. App. 601 , 288 So.2d 142 (1973). Each of those cases involved a petition for adoption. That subject matter is statutorily within the jurisdiction of the probate court , Code of 1975, § 43-4-1 , as is the appointment of guardians for mental incompetents, Code of 1975, § 12-13-1 . The cited cases are correct as far as they go, but they are inapposite here because they did not address the establishment of a common law marriage, a subject over which the probate court has not been given jurisdiction. § 12-13-1 . Hence we cannot consider on the record before us that this petitioner's claim as common law wife of S.L. Slade has been judicially established."”
