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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In State Through Dept, of Health v. Williams, 471 So.2d 1064 (La.App. 3d Cir.1985), a trial court’s finding of paternity was held to satisfy proof by a preponderance, where the record established that it was likely that the child was conceived during the time the mother and father had sexual relations; and where the mother testified that she did not have sex with any other men during the time of conception. In State v. Watson, 403 So.2d 1249 (La.App. 2d Cir.1981), sufficient proof of paternity was provided when the mother testified that she dated the alleged fa ther exclusively for more than one year immediately preceeding the birth of the child; that she had no other sexual relations during the time of conception, and her testimony was substantially corroborated by other witnesses.”
