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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This court is further mindful of the inherent delays with the mechanics of execution of personal service on out-of-state residents. The procedure requires that the attorney attempting personal service on an out-of-state defendant apply for the summons with the appropriate county official who then mails the summons to the attorney who in turn forwards the summons and fee to the appropriate out-of-state sheriff, causing delays along each step, which in this case were not the fault of appellant’s attorney.”
