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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““WRIT DENIED. Under the provisions of Act 154 of 1974 (now R.S. 22:1406) the issuance [insurer] of an automobile liability insurance policy must provide uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage in [an amount] not less than the limits of bodily injury coverage unless the insured named in the policy shall reject in writing the coverage or selects lower limits. Although the insured here signed a form entitled “Optional Limits or Rejection Form” which was designed for the insured to either reject the coverage or to select lower limits, the insured did neither. The belated statement of his intention is not now material.” 1 (Footnote added)”
