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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Appellate jurisdiction is derived from constitutional or statutory provisions and can be exercised only in the manner prescribed. [Cites omitted.] An appeal divests the trial court of jurisdiction over matters necessarily involved in the review proceeding and confers such jurisdiction upon the appellate court. [Cites omitted.] Appellate jurisdiction being dependent on the law it cannot be conferred by consent of the parties.” Bryan v. Miller, 73 N.D. 487 , 16 N.W.2d 275, 281 (1944).”
