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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“this court is aided by a judicial gloss which the Alabama Supreme Court has put on the term “other good and just cause.” In Faircloth v. Folmar, 252 Ala. 223 , 40 So.2d 697 (1949), the Alabama court adopted the interpretation of the Indiana courts which hold that the term includes “any cause which bears a reasonable relation to the teacher’s fitness or capacity to discharge the duties of his position.” Accord, Cooper v. Perry County Board of Education, 264 Ala. 251, 254 , 86 So.2d 832, 835 (1956).”
