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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Do you find from a preponderance of the evidence that M.W. Plummer in obtaining the employment contract made reasonable use of the confidence placed in him? Do you find from a preponderance of the evidence that the terms of said employment contract were fair and equitable to Matilda Cole? Do you find from a preponderance of the evidence that under the circumstances there was good faith effort on the part of M.W. Plummer to fully inform Matilda Cole the nature and effect of the filing of a partition suit?”
