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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) Is the witness (a) a party to the action, or (b) a person interested in the event of the action, or (c) a person from, through or under whom such a party or interested person derives his interest or title? (2) Is the witness testifying (a) in his own behalf, or (b) in behalf of the party succeeding to his title or interest? (3) Is the witness testifying against (a) the personal representative of a deceased person or, (b) the committee of a lunatic, or (c) a person deriving his title or interest from, through or under a deceased person or lunatic? (4) Does the testimony of the witness concern a personal transaction or communication between the witness and the deceased person or lunatic?”
