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.
““Traditionally, in Alabama, easements could be created only by deed, by prescription, or by adverse use for a statutory period. Our supreme court, in Helms v. Tullis, 398 So.2d 253, 255 (Ala.1981), set out several additional means by which an easement may be acquired: ‘(1) by express conveyance, (2) reservation or exception, (3) by implication, (4) by necessity, (5) by prescription, (6) by contract, [and] (7) by reference to boundaries or maps.’ ””
