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.
“shall not be construed to deprive other courts of the right to determine custody or guardianship of the person of children when such custody or guardianship is incidental to the determination of cases pending in those courts.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Rule 19, [Ala.] R. Civ. P., requires a two-step process. The first concerns the question of whether someone who is not a party to an action should be joined as a party. Rule 19(a). If that question is decided in the affirmative, and for some reason the absent party cannot be made a party, then the court must determine whether the action should proceed. Rule 19(b). The factors of Rule 19(b) are to be applied only if joinder is not feasible. Withington v. Cloud, 522 So.2d 263 (Ala.1988). In this instance, we are concerned only with the first process under Rule 19(a) because, from all indications, the joinder of [Mrs. Walters] is certainly feasible.””
