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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"When a judge is disqualified to try a case, he may, by law, call an attorney to take his place in the trial of the cause.... In such a case, the attorney, or judge pro tem., has all the power of the regular judge over or in the case.... When an attorney or judge has been called or appointed to try a case in the place of the regular judge, such called or appointed judge has the same power over the case as the regular judge would have had, if he had not been disqualified; hence, as the regular judge might have given time and signed a bill of exceptions after the term, the called or appointed judge may and ought to do so in a proper case."”
