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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A. If either party to a civil action in a superior court files an affidavit alleging any of the grounds specified in subsection B, the judge shall at once transfer the action to another division of the court if there is more than one division, or shall request a judge of the superior court of another county to preside at the trial of the action. B. Grounds which may be alleged as provided in subsection A for change of judge are: ****** 5. That the party filing the affidavit has cause to believe that on account of the bias, prejudice, or interest of the judge he cannot obtain a fair and impartial trial.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““The Arizona as well as the federal cases indicate that there are occasions where intervention is proper after judgment. John F. Long Homes, Inc. v. Holohan, 97 Ariz. 31 , 396 P.2d 394 (1964); Pellegrino v. Nesbit, 9 Cir., 203 F.2d 463, 465 , 37 A.L.R.2d 1296 . See 2 Barron & Holtzoff, Federal Practice & Procedure, § 594, page 368. In the case of Schuster v. Schuster, 75 Ariz. 20 , 251 P.2d 631 (1952), our Supreme Court held that a motion to intervene some nine years after judgment was proper and thus by implication timely, under the circumstances therein.” Liston v. Butler, 4 Ariz.App. 460, 466 , 421 P.2d 542, 548 (1967).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Beverly J. McConnell, being first duly sworn upon her oath, deposes and says: “I am the attorney for the plaintiff in the above entitled action, and as such make this affidavit on their behalf. I have reason to believe and do believe that on account of the bias, prejudice or interest of the Honorable John E. Burke, Judge of the above entitled action, to whom the above action has been assigned, that plaintiff cannot attain a fair and impartial trial on determination herein. “Plaintiff does therefore request that this action be transferred to another division of the above entitled Court.””
