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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We deny the writ on the basis that the trial court heard evidence that is not included with the petition for the writ of mandamus. On review by mandamus, the reviewing court must look at only the evidence that was before the trial court. Ex parte Ralston, 519 So.2d 488 (Ala.1987); Ex parte Baker, 459 So.2d 873 (Ala.1984). Conversely, if there was evidence before the trial court that is not presented with the mandamus petition and that evidence might support the trial court’s decision, the petitioner has not met his burden of making a ‘clear showing of error’ by the trial court. Ex parte Jim Skinner Ford, Inc., 435 So.2d 1235, 1237 (Ala.1983). A writ of mandamus is a drastic and extraordinary remedy, and such a writ will be issued only upon a showing that the petitioner has a clear right to relief. Ex parte Humana Medical Gorp., 597 So.2d 670, 671 (Ala.1992).””
