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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellee made an agreement with her attorney that he would receive compensation at the rate of $100 per hour. The affidavit for attorney’s fees her lawyer submitted reflects the' lawyer spent 28.40 hours in rendering legal assistance; his associate, whose time was billed at $75 per hour, expended 6.10 hours. As part of the agreement, appellee paid her attorney a $500 retainer fee. Relying upon the terms of this contract, we hold the total award of attorney’s fees should not have exceeded $3,297.50. On remand the trial court is directed to reduce it accordingly.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Appellant contends the trial court abused its discretion in awarding appellee $1,200 per month, or fifty-eight percent of his net income, in alimony and child support. We agree and are compelled to reduce the child support $50 per month per child in order to secure appellant's economic survival. After the reduction, he is left, after payment of his rent and the loan upon his automobile, with $330 per month to pay his other necessities.”
