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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

If both parties are nonresidents, an Alabama court has no jurisdiction. Winston v. Winston, 279 Ala. 534 , 188 So.2d 264 (1966). Further, nonresident parties cannot stipulate that an Alabama court may assume jurisdiction over the case. Winston, supra.””
