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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the trial court is required to make a final determination on that issue at that time.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“As a general rule, when a cause is submitted to a court for determination and the court renders its judgment, "there should always be as much finality as possible ..., not only for the benefit of the parties and the court, but also for the public and any third persons who may look at the records for guidance in dealing with the litigants." This degree of finality is necessary because "[a] litigant is entitled to know that a judgment determining his rights is final and will not be disturbed, except on appeal, or under the conditions prescribed by a rule."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In dissolution proceedings, the court has no authority to partition jointly-held property in the absence of the parties' agreement or a specific pleading requesting partition.”
