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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Plaintiff further contends that as the judge who heard the motion for a new trial was not the judge who tried the case, his powers and duties with respect to weighing the evidence and determining the motion were not the same as would have been the powers and duties of the judge who tried the case in the event that the latter had heard and determined the motion. But the authorities in this jurisdiction are all to the contrary. (Jones v. Sanders, 103 Cal. 678 [ 37 P. 649 ]; Wilson v. California C.R.R. Co., 94 Cal. 166 [ 29 P. 861 , 17 L.R.A. 685 ]; Miller v. Logan, 32 Cal.App. 28 [ 161 P. 1022 ].)”.”
