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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Fully recognizing the mandatory nature of the statute, we are nevertheless persuaded that any § 40-3803 error has been rendered harmless by the circumstances of this case, under the provisions of T.C.A. § 27-117. Certainly this would seem to be true where the only matter raised by petitioner concerns the orders of the appellate court and not the actions of the judge who presided at trial.”
