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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Trial judges are vested with considerable discretion in ruling on motions for new trial, and it has been noted on numerous occasions that `[t]his Court will reverse a trial judge's denial of request for new trial only when such denial amounts to a [sic] abuse of that judge's discretion.'”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“Automatic reversal is not required where the appellee fails to file a brief, but reversal is appropriate if the appellant's argument creates doubt in the judiciousness of the trial court's judgment.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“child custody is at issue, the Court is compelled to review the record, despite [Doughty's] failure to file a brief.”
