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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Section 28.07, Florida Statutes (1983), as well as article VIII, section l(k), Florida Constitution] clearly contemplates the establishment of branch offices to serve the needs of the public. Each provides that the clerk of the circuit court’s office at the county seat shall be the permanent, central repository for all permanent records. It would seem apparent that the drafters of the constitutional provision, as well as the statute, were well aware that the ever growing population of many Florida counties has placed great burdens on the offices of the clerks of circuit courts throughout the state. To hold that these lawfully established branch offices may accept pleadings for filing, but that said documents are not officially filed until received at the county seat would seem to be at loggerheads with the stated purpose of providing for the establishment of branch offices in order to better serve the needs of the public.”
