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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[T]he Alabama rule of statutory construction... requires that the Workmen's Compensation Act and the Wrongful Death statute be construed together and harmonized so as to give effect to each law, if possible.... If there were a direct conflict between the two acts, the later Compensation Act would control. We are of the opinion, however, that there is no irreconcilable conflict in the application of both statutes to the instant situation."”
