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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Rules 4(c)(1) and 4.1(b)(3), Ala. R. Civ. P. require the person serving process to locate the individual to be served and deliver a copy of the process and accompanying documents to that individual. Strict compliance with the Rules of Civil Procedure regarding service of process is required. The sheriff's return is prima facie evidence of the fact of personal service of process. The party challenging it carries the burden of establishing lack of service by clear and convincing proof."”
